Chief's Chat #3: Police Training on Mental Illness & Upcoming NAMI Walk

Cape CopCast

Officers within the Cape Coral Police Department are equipped not just with the tools of law enforcement, but also the skills to compassionately handle mental health crises. Discover how our collaboration with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) provides our department with vital Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) programs. In this episode of the Cape CopCast "Chief's Chat," we dive into the essential role law enforcement plays in mental health as we start planning for next year's impactful NAMI Walk in Southwest Florida.
Through our partnerships with NAMI, we explore the benefits of specialized training for handling complex conditions such as Autism and Alzheimer's. We highlight the crucial need for community support, urging engagement in activities like the upcoming walk in March, which not only sustains vital services but also empowers us to address mental health challenges head-on. Your participation can make a lasting impact, helping to create a community where mental health awareness and support are prioritized.
