Bravo to PAPD and the city of Palo Alto!

Mountain View sorely needs this type of program. Hopefully, MVPD has a proposal in hand for city council.

Crisis Intervention Training(CIT) is very important for all police officers on a continuing basis. Psychological Emergency Response Teams are critical to serving those with mental illness in our community. Dignity and Human Rights. Sounds like something city council should get behind.
