A new facility has been opened to house a mental health unit. This unit was previously based at police headquarters. Community partners, including specialists, will work together with officers at the new location.

The change aims to alter how emergency calls are handled. Officers will respond to calls alongside specialists, who will then take over. This approach seeks to provide help without making an arrest.

Further details about the new facility and its operations are available from the source. The new setup is intended to benefit individuals in crisis, providing an alternative to arrest when responding to emergency situations.
