Beginning this summer, a mental health professional will arrive along with a police officer in a modified uniform and in an unmarked car at some 911 calls for behavioral health crises in two cities in North Jersey.
B-HEARD team members in Brooklyn act out a scenario in which they're called to a dispute. The New Jersey version of the program is different; a police officer and mental health professional are dispatched to certain mental health calls.B-HEARD team members in Brooklyn act out a scenario in which they're called to a dispute. The New Jersey version of the program is different; a police officer and mental health professional are dispatched to certain mental health calls.
Called ARRIVE Together, the program is limited, for now. It will run twice a week during the day in Elizabeth and adjacent Linden, with one officer assigned from each city’s police department and a mental health screener from Trinitas Regional Medical Center. Each officer in the program will wear a shirt that says “police” and arrive in an unmarked patrol car without flashing lights, according to Elizabeth Police Chief Giacomo Sacca.
Cities across the country are beginning to dispatch mental health professionals as first responders for behavioral health crisis. But compared to other cities, the New Jersey plan is more police-focused. In “ARRIVE” is an acronym for “Alternative Responses to Reduce Instances of Violence & Escalation.” The state Attorney General’s Office is paying the salaries of the mental health screeners. During the ARRIVE Together pilot program in Cumberland County, which has operated twice a week since December, state police and their mental health partners responded to 57 calls.
