We're helping recover, we want to recover, we want to put this person into recovery.
Imagine being a police officer called to a scene where addiction and mental health issues collide. In this eye-opening episode of 'Hope Ahead', two officers from Norman PD share their experiences with crisis intervention training. With over two decades of service between them, these officers reveal how their roles have shifted from traditional law enforcement to becoming vital links in community support networks.
They talk about moving away from just 'catching bad guys' to connecting deeply with individuals facing tough times. Their stories highlight the importance of trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches in handling such sensitive situations. They also discuss the collaboration between law enforcement and mental health professionals, showcasing how working together can lead to better outcomes for everyone involved. One key resource they mention is the urgent recovery center, SURC, which serves as a bridge between outpatient and inpatient care.
The officers stress the need to treat addiction and mental health challenges together, encouraging individuals to seek help without fear of judgment. This episode offers a valuable look into how crisis intervention training is transforming police work and providing hope for those in need.
