Bill overview
This bill allows California cities and counties to create a program where existing mental health professionals within local law enforcement agencies can be designated as ‘mental health liaisons.’ These liaisons would be responsible for providing mental health support and resources to peace officers who serve the community, recognizing the high rates of mental health challenges faced by law enforcement. The goal is to improve officer well-being, job performance, and ultimately, public safety.
