An amount of $516,400 was granted to support the deployment of these practices which generally consist of combining a psychosocial intervention with a police intervention.
This project aims to ensure an appropriate response to people going through a crisis situation and to limit hospitalizations, court proceedings or the use of specialized resources when this is not necessary.
For the implementation and consolidation of mixed practices of psychosocial and local police interventions in Quebec, the investments of the Ministry of Health and Social Services and the Ministry of Public Security will be $42.7 million and $14 million respectively for a total of $57.2 million.
The RIPTB is involved in the deployment of mixed psychosocial and local police intervention teams in the Laurentians region and since 2021, a specialized CISSS intervention team has been working inside the offices of the police department in order to support the police during daily interventions in matters of mental health, homelessness, drug addiction, and to ensure adequate follow-ups with those affected.
