In its first year, the Lawrenceville Police Department’s co-responder program with View Point Health handled nearly 900 crisis calls — but arrested less than a dozen people — in the city, according to numbers released by the city.
The Project F.I.R.S.T. program was launched on July 1, 2021 and concluded its first year on June 30. Officials from View Point Health team up with officers in the program to form a Community Response Team that handle calls that involve someone experiencing a mental health crisis.
The team was called to respond to 879 incidents during its first year in operation, but only had to arrest people on eight of those calls.
