Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops introduces us to two officers and one police department trying and succeeding in doing it right. Charged with responding to 911 calls, The San Antonio Police Department and these officers provide one model that can improve policing and community outcomes for all. The director’s hope is that the film will inspire police departments, officers and communities to work together to reduce the criminalization of those with mental health challenges and find ways to support all community members to thrive.
After the film, a discussion will focus on how to help people with mental health challenges, both by intervention and in the event of a crisis. Local resources will be introduced and listed on a handout available to participants and online.
Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops is hosted by the Prince George’s Peace and Justice Coalition and the Greenbelt Bahá’í Community to draw attention to community mental health resources.
