RCPD in partnership with Sacramento County launched a Mobile Crisis Support Team in the City of Rancho Cordova in 2021.
The Mobile Crisis Support Team, comprised of an RCPD officer trained in Crisis Intervention and a County Licensed Mental Health Clinician, responds to emergency calls to support Rancho Cordova residents experiencing mental health crises. In addition, the team has a County-contracted Peer Navigator that follows up with individuals with potential mental health needs to ensure they are offered support in navigating care systems and linked to appropriate services.
The Mobile Crisis Support Team responds to calls in Rancho Cordova, where there is a need for this specialized outreach. In 2021, the Mobile Crisis Support Team responded to 374 calls for service, providing services such as welfare checks, mental health evaluations, meetings with residents, and more.
The Mobile Crisis Support Team combines law enforcement and behavioral health experience with training to understand the complexities of mental illness. The team responds to calls in Rancho Cordova during peak hours and provides access to mental health services and care, decreasing unnecessary hospitalizations or incarcerations.
This collaboration for the Mobile Crisis Support Team program between Sacramento County Division of Behavioral Health Services and law enforcement agencies is funded by and through the voter approved Proposition 63, Mental Health Services Act.
