DC to Begin Handling Mental Health 911 Calls Differently Next Month

Starting next month in D.C., when someone calls 911 for help with a mental health issue that call could be transferred to the District’s mental health crisis team instead of the police. As News4’s Mark Segraves reports, this change is part of police reform in D.C.
