SEEKING SOLUTIONS: How police officers de-escalate mental health crises
SUMMARY: Last night in Tupelo, a traffic stop turned into a two-hour standoff with a man threatening self-harm, but police successfully negotiated with him. Law enforcement officers in Lee County and Tupelo participate in Crisis Intervention training to handle mental health crises, which are common. The officers learn to deescalate situations and work with experts to help those in crisis. By showing empathy and care, officers hope to erase the stigma of mental illness and be a resource for the community. Citizens can reach out to mobile crisis response teams or call the crisis hotline for help, and request a CIT-trained officer in a mental health emergency.
