#46: Since 2020, city and county leaders have promised to develop an unarmed mental health crisis response system amid demands for police reform. But two years later the pilot program announced by the city has yet to launch and the county's system is a patchwork of services for which there are enough trained people to do the work. HTLA host Brian De Los Santos checks in on how LA is doing on its promise to respond to mental health crises without law enforcement and what is needed for officials to deliver on a plan that works.
Guests: Robert Garrova, Mental Health Reporter for LAist; Ben Adam Climer, founder of C.R.I.S.I.S. Consulting, which has helped cities develop unarmed emergency response units
