Bill > S03729

This bill provides $10 million annually for grants related to the expansion and support of crisis intervention services and diversion programs. These grants will be used to fund training programs for law enforcement officers, 911 dispatchers, and first responders, as developed or approved by the New York State Office of Mental Health, the Division of Criminal Justice Services, and the Office of Addiction Services and Supports. The bill also requires the commissioners of these agencies to provide an annual report on the progress of the program, including details on the number of individuals trained, their occupations, and their county of employment.
