The Alaska pilot emergency is the second high-profile crime this year where a suspect in the northwest said he took psychedelic mushrooms before the alleged crimes.
SEATTLE — A new program that will pair police officers and mental health-focused responders on 911 calls launched in Seattle on Wednesday.
Trained call takers in the Seattle 911 centers will determine whether a CARE response is appropriate based on the information received. The city said calls generally eligible for a CARE response will include"low-acuity welfare checks, calls that don’t need enforcement, and others that are non-violent, non-emergent, and non-medical."
The pilot focused primarily on downtown Seattle along with the Chinatown-International District and SODO neighborhoods. CARE responders will be available from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. when the city said the most frequent calls for mental health crises occur.
