Improving Emergency Response: A Look at Louisville's 911 System with Dr. Brian Schaefer


Listen Later

Join us on this podcast as we talk with Dr. Brian Schaefer from the Health Science Center’s School of

Public Health and Information Sciences as he helps us understand how the Louisville 911 call system (several hundred thousand calls per year) works and
his team’s effort to get the right response to match the call for help; whether it is for a crime, a behavioral health issue, a fire, etc.  Especially important is the designation of a CIT run (Crisis Intervention Team) for behavioral health that come through the 911 system (19,000 calls per year) in Louisville. This episode brings great insight into changes in the response system that serve the community better, and more safely. Do you have comments or questions
