Chicago's 911 mental health response teams see rising use
Original: Mayor Brandon Johnson’s 911 mental health response teams see uptick, CPD help
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's alternative 911 mental health response teams are seeing increased calls and greater support from the Chicago Police Department. The program sends trained responders to certain mental health emergencies instead of police officers alone. The reported uptick suggests growing public awareness of the service as the city continues shifting how it handles crisis calls.
Why now: Fresh reporting shows increased usage and police cooperation in Chicago's alternative crisis response program under Mayor Brandon Johnson.
