A new Police and Crisis Team launched in Prince Albert will improve how front-line policing services respond to people experiencing mental health crises. Crown Investments Minister and Prince Albert Carlton MLA Joe Hargrave on behalf of Health Minister Jim Reiter joined representatives of the Saskatchewan Health Authority – Prince Albert, City of Prince Albert Police Service, and the community for a launch event today.
“Police and Crisis Teams have seen great success in Saskatoon and Regina,” Hargrave said. “The new Police and Crisis Team in Prince Albert reflects our government’s commitment to improving mental health services for people across the province.”“As of this September, Prince Albert Police Service has committed two experienced police officers to PACT to work collectively with two mental health professionals,” Prince Albert Police Service Acting Chief of Police Jon Bergen said. “As observed in other areas, PACT initiatives deliver a special response to a complicated situation with successful outcomes. The existing PACT initiatives have demonstrated that they provide real time front-line resources to people in need while diverting and reducing emergency room visits and wait times that would have otherwise fell on general police members. Specialized staff from both police and health will ensure we connect people in crisis with the right resources, in the time of need, all while ensuring efficiencies for patients and partners are achieved.”
The Government of Saskatchewan is investing $980,000 in 2018-19 for new PACTs in Prince Albert, North Battleford, Yorkton and Moose Jaw. The Ministry of Health funding for this expansion comes from the Canada-Saskatchewan Bilateral Funding Agreement.We need your feedback to improve saskatchewan.ca. Help us improve
