Tampa Police Launch Advanced System for Mental Health 911 Calls

The Tampa Police Department has introduced an innovative system to swiftly connect individuals experiencing a mental health crisis with the appropriate resources.

When someone in Tampa calls 911 due to a mental health struggle, they will now be connected to a crisis counselor like Tina Thai. “A lot of people feel alone,” Thai said. “I just want people to not feel alone and like they have a friend in this world.”
