Wyoming sheriff's offices tap new mental health hold reimbursement law
Original: Three sheriff’s offices sign up for jail mental health hold reimbursements under new Wyoming law
Three sheriff's offices in Wyoming have enrolled to receive reimbursements for mental health holds in their jails under a newly enacted state law. The programme compensates counties for costs incurred when detainees are held for mental health evaluations, easing a financial burden long carried by local law enforcement as the state works to improve its mental health crisis response.
Why now: A new Wyoming law addressing the costly practice of jailing people awaiting mental health treatment is drawing attention as counties begin to use it.
