In the past, when a family member called 9-1-1 during a child’s mental health crisis, law enforcement would respond first. The experience was uneven and sometimes even traumatic for families. Commissioner Lunde will be discussing how the emergency response to 9-1-1 mental health crisis calls is currently changing in Hennepin County.
