Harrisburg Public Safety Building
The Harrisburg Police Bureau has launched a new mental health tool.
In conjunction with Mental Health Awareness Month, the bureau is offering residents a way to set up a meeting with a Dauphin County co-responder, mental health professionals who partner with police.
By filling out an online form, residents can seek assistance with issues around mental health, alcohol and substance abuse, aging and other concerns. A co-responder will then contact the resident and schedule a meeting to hear their concerns and connect them to local resources.
According to Capt. Kyle Gautsch, the initiative is a way for the bureau to better help city residents.
The form is for non-emergency situations. To report emergencies or crimes, residents should call 911.
