Expanded Mobile Crisis Outreach Team [EMCOT]
M-F 8a-12a, Sat. 10a-8pm
CCD focuses on diverting appropriate mental health related calls received
by APD’s Emergency Communications Division to a Call Center Clinician (C3)
imbedded on the Operations Floor. The goal is to engage the caller in
addressing mental health issues in the mental health treatment system as
opposed to the criminal justice system. The C3 position will serve as an
add-on service to a 911 Operator answering a call with a suspected or
confirmed behavioral health crisis component.
