From Rotarian Jennifer Giovinazzo's Facebook Post: West St Paul and Inver Grove Heights police and their supports presented at the West St. Paul-Mendota Heights Rotary Club on Wednesday. Joe, Megan, Greg, Samual, Jess and Jason came and spoke about the pilot program started in 2019 to include embedded social workers to support the police in mental health issues. This program is a first in Dakota County and MN. It includes what they called stabilization-follow up, resources and good old fashion care and concern for those who need it. These counselors, police officers and therapist are highly trained, skilled and selfless. Thank you for enlightening us again this week and for all that you do. We thank you.
