Sacramento Co Supervisors consider ‘alternative to 911’ pilot program

Sacramento county is on the brink of changing the way some mental health crises are handled. Under the current proposal, the “alternatives to 911” pilot program would create four, 2-person mental health response teams and a call center. The center would be staffed by five senior mental health counselors and will have a separate, non-law enforcement phone number. See more in the video above.
