The calls for help kept rising in Denver: Welfare checks. Suicidal subjects. An overdose victim.
As 2020 began, even before a global pandemic swept across the country, Denver police data showed mental health-related 911 calls were up 17% from the three-year average.
Last June, the city launched Denver Support Team Assisted Response (STAR), a paramedic and mental health clinician team that headed to 911 calls in a van without police. They treated people with mental health and substance abuse issues and connected them with services.
A six-month study of the new pilot program is showing signs of progress. The alternative team responded to 748 calls. None ended with police being called or an arrest.
In the pilot, Denver 911 noted all calls that fit the criteria for STAR, even if calls fell outside the pilot parameters. About 2.8% of the calls — roughly 2,500 of 92,400 — qualified. Denver has an average of 600,000 calls annually, meaning about 16,800 calls could be answered by civilians, not police.
