    Accomplishments

    We have the Homeless Liaison, the Shelter District NPO, and two other officers who are not subject to call to work the area. We now have added a Sergeant and Corporal to expand this program. Additionally, Lieutenant Ladd, who helps to oversee this program, works with community partners and attends meetings. The Crisis Intervention Team works under this same chain of command, but has citywide responsibility.
