Clark County Co-Responder Program Has Success

(Vancouver, WA)  --  The Clark County Sheriff's Office says it's seeing success in the first 90 days of its pilot co-responder program.  Sea Mar Community Health Centers send behavioral health professionals, or make them available by phone, when deputies need them for people in crisis.  The goal is to provide options for interventions.  There have been 47 calls with 25 of those calls resulting in outreach.  It takes behavioral health responders about a half hour to respond after they're called.  Sheriff John Horch says the program is a lifeline for the community.
