## Resource

The city’s co-response team is back—with a major upgrade: mental health clinicians now join police officers on every call. No more solo social workers; now it’s a unified team trained to handle crises with the right mix of expertise. Based right at police HQ for tighter coordination, this new model aims to deploy resources smarter and faster across the city—with extra focus on downtown, where mental health calls are surging. Led by Lt. Anthony Cunningham and Sgt. Colleen Bristow, the program’s goal? Better outcomes, faster responses, and real accountability to meet community needs head-on.
