We will have Coffee With a Cop at the East District Station on Tuesday April 22, at 2PM!
Special guests for this event will be our East District Mental Health Team. Mental Health Officer Haley Massey and Crisis Worker Hope Edgren will discuss their roles in the the Mental Health Unit, as well as how the MHU came to be.
Mental Health awareness and informed response are a key facet of the training that all of our Officers receive both in the Academy and during Professional Development. Fun fact: MPD is one of fifteen "learning sites" designated by the U.S. DOJ's Bureau of Justice Assistance, which means that other Police Departments and mental health entities interested in working jointly in their jurisdictions will visit us to learn our process.
