A little bit. I've done some training with the mobile crisis teams that would actually respond other than police if a call comes into a crisis line. And we've done some training with 911 operators so they can help distinguish a call that may be someone in crisis so they know the kind of vibe or what that feels like.

I have been involved in a lot of crisis situations in the community, like you just explained. And my biggest thing is communication, making sure the person being served speaks. needs are met and that they're understood completely, as well as the police's. So kind of like a bridger in between in that relationship to make sure everything's good and working smoothly to help the person in need.

You know, life's all about relationships, right? So even if somebody was not trained properly and they were a participant in the jail diversion program at the time, I was able to stand up for them and vouch for them and say, hey, I'm a court employee. This person is working with us. Kind of like, they're okay, you know, what's the problem?

Let's talk about this and even, you know, make an excuse for the person if they're not doing well. Like, oh, you know, something happened. But it's all about education and relationships.

Having, at the time, a county or court badge when speaking to somebody else that may work for the same department in the police goes a long way on the street than just somebody else that they may not recognize or be able to relate to in that situation.
