Chelan County’s Behavioral Health Unit and Sheriff’s Office had a busy week of visitors! Early in the week, a contingent from the Athens-Clarke County Police Department stopped in
to ask questions about the year-old unit and how it was set up. Answering their questions were Ana Johnson, BHU program manager, and Chief of Patrol Adam Musgrove. Visitors
were doing a tour of the state to learn more about how law agencies are dealing with behavioral health issues in their communities.On Wednesday, a film crew from the Seattle
Police Department and Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission also stopped in to film a conversation between the duo. We’ll let you know when the video is up!Just
goes to show that our BHU and Sheriff’s Office are quickly becoming leaders — especially for other rural communities — in the development of co-responder programs. Way to go,
team! Chelan County Sheriff’s Office
