Flagstaff launches CARE unit to send mental health professionals, not police, to calls

  • Updated

Someone passed out at a bus station. A person screaming at passersby. Another caught in the midst of a mental health crisis.

These are the calls that once filled the days of Flagstaff's fire and police departments. They weren't always the best option and, in some cases, the uniforms and flashing lights would only escalate the situation. There was no one else to send, though.



Reporter Bree Burkitt can be reached at 928-556-2250 or [email protected].
