Co-responder Unit

The Police Department's new Co-Responder unit will give a presentation on who they are and what they do. The Skokie Police Department's two-person Co-Responder team responds to individuals in crisis, linking them to services, monitoring individuals post initial response and providing follow-up with individuals in need of ongoing services. The team includes Skokie Police Officer Kimberly Blue, who has completed Crisis Intervention Training for law enforcement, and Village social worker Brian McHugh.

Here is a link to some info on them and a NBC 5 News Story that ran on March 9:https://www.skokie.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=518
