| Co-response program making an impact for Franklin |
Through the partnership between our officers and co-response clinicians, we are able to respond to mental health, substance use, and crisis-related calls with a focus on care, de-escalation, and access to services.
In the past year:
• 881 cases were referred to the Co-Response Program
• 44 individuals were diverted from arrest and connected to treatment
• 142 individuals were diverted from unnecessary emergency department visits
Our goal remains simple: helping people get the support they need while keeping them safely connected to community resources whenever possible.
We are proud of the work being done every day through this collaborative effort to support the wellbeing of our residents."
