Embrace individuals who may be experiencing a mental health crisis. Your services may one day be needed to help!
Below is a brief perspective from the viewpoint of a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Deputy when they interact with someone who could be going through a mental health crisis. Remember, these methods are not exclusive to trained and seasoned LASD deputies. In reality, you might someday encounter someone who is experiencing a mental health crisis.

Prior to a Deputy making contact, they:
  • Gather all facts: Prior to responding to a call for service, Deputies do their best to compile all available details from dispatch and related contacts to understand the situation before making an approach.
  • Prioritize Safety: Deputies are aware that a mental health crisis call may occasionally intensify. If a deputy believes approaching a person in crisis may pose a safety risk, he/she will wait for a backup unit to respond to the location or for mental health experts to arrive on scene before making contact.
The Deputy’s mindset during the intervention:
  • Communicate Effectively: Speak slowly, clearly, and calmly, explaining your actions and intentions.
  • De-escalate: Remain calm and try to de-escalate the situation. Avoid arguing. Do not agree or disagree with delusions or hallucinations. Instead, validate the person's feelings.
  • Show Respect: Treat the individual with dignity and respect, just as you would anyone else.
  • Maintain Personal Space: Keep a safe distance and respect the person's personal space.
  • Slow it down! (Be patient): Take their time to avoid creating a noisy or distracting environment that can further agitate the individual.
  • Ask Clear Questions: Use closed-choice questions (e.g., "Do you want option A or B?") to help guide the conversation.
The Deputy’s mindset after the Intervention:
  • Make Use of Resources: Take advantage of local resources like Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs, which are partnerships between law enforcement and mental health services.
  • Pursue Professional Assistance: Ensure the individual receives the necessary care, which may include connecting them with mental health services or transporting them to a facility.
  • Deputy’s Well-Being: Recognize the mental health impact these interactions can have on officers and make use of available support systems to safeguard your own mental health.
