The Briefing Room is hosting a live webinar titled “Should Police Stop Responding to Mental Health Calls? A Landmark 9th Circuit Ruling Has Agencies Reassessing Their Policies” on March 25, from 10 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. PST.
This session will explore the implications of the Scott v. Smith ruling and its impact on law enforcement agencies. Topics covered will include:
- What Scott v. Smith actually means — and what it doesn’t
- How agencies are adapting to new legal precedents
- Key legal and ethical considerations for non-response policies
- The #1 step your agency must take with officers and the community
Sheriff Jim Cooper of the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office will be one of the panelists and will discuss his agency’s recent decision to no longer respond to mental health calls where a crime is not being committed.
The webinar is free and exclusively available to active-duty law enforcement administrators and trainers.
