City fortunate to have CPD Crisis Intervention Unit
At the October 16 City Council meeting, the Carmel Police Department Crisis Intervention Unit shared the work they have been doing for our officers and our community.
The Crisis Intervention Unit (CIU) consists of Sergeant Katy Malloy, Officer Greg Stovall, and two mental health clinicians, Hannah Cowles and Jody Kennedy. The unit values the multidisciplinary approach that the officer/clinician pairing provides to the City of Carmel.
The CIU's primary focus is the community. They provide stabilization services, on-scene response and case management for individuals experiencing issues related to mental health. Many of the cases are referred by officers who encounter these individuals and recognize the need for additional resources or services. The members of CIU are also involved in the department’s Officer Wellness Program and provide ongoing training, peer support, critical incident debriefs, resources and referrals.
