Behavioral health emergencies are some of the most complex and high risk calls first responders face. Yet, policies and protocols often fail to reflect the real-world dynamics of these incidents. From public calls to remove law enforcement from crisis response entirely, to legislative changes that reshape funding and response models, agencies are navigating a rapidly evolving landscape.
Join this Lexipol webinar along with Dr. Cherylynn Lee, clinical psychologist and crisis response expert, and Dr. David Tan, emergency physician and EMS medical director, as they examine policy gaps, co-responder models, training priorities and the importance of cross-disciplinary coordination to improve safety and outcomes for all involved. Learn the importance of clarity on the roles of law enforcement, EMS, and fire services in behavioral health calls and actionable steps to strengthen interagency coordination.
