Will training law enforcement to better recognize those with autism, Alzheimer’s and mental illness make for better, less aggressive responses?
Located adjacent to the Industry Sheriff’s Station in City of Industry, the 5,000-square-foot facility features three classrooms and interactive simulators that will provide mental health awareness and crisis intervention training to 18,000 sworn deputies and professional staff, as well as local police departments and members of state and federal law enforcement agencies.
The purpose behind these training sessions was to help law enforcement on the scene with a distressed individual, who may have a weapon and is acting erratically, to deescalate the situation. Those completing the classes received certification. “The opening of a mental health training facility helps raise a more compassionate approach to public safety,” said Luna, who kicked off the facility’s dedication on Thursday.
“It will give deputies tools to better understand autism spectrum disorder. It gives them the ability to better find resolutions in these crisis situations,” said Moss, who spoke at the dedication with emotion in her voice. “With this center, the sheriff deputies will be the most knowledgeable deputies on mental health.”
She’s conducted trainings role-playing a nonverbal person on the autism spectrum. The emphasis is on deescalating a tense situation, she said. Also, wandering off affects 50% of those with autism, she said.
