Who We Are
Launched in 2022 as part of a Behavioral Health Justice Intervention Services (BHJIS) Grant, CRU was created to provide officers with an essential tool for assisting individuals during some of their their most difficult times.
At times, this may look like a CRU member providing outreach if someone is experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, providing a dual response with an officer during a behavioral health episode or outreach anywhere in the community to bring services directly to the person.
Our Mission
