The Gainesville Police Department will host “Ask for a GPD Co-Responder” on Thursday, Sept. 18.

The event is open to the public and will take place at 7 p.m. at the GPD Hall of Heroes (545 NW 8th Ave., Gainesville).

A co-responder is a trained mental health professional who works alongside law enforcement to respond to calls involving mental health crises. They provide on-the-spot support, help de-escalate, connect individuals with resources and ensure people in crisis receive the care they need.
