We're reimagining public safety! Set to launch on Monday, the new Crisis Alternative Response Evanston (C.A.R.E.) program will provide a non-police response to certain low-risk service calls. The C.A.R.E team consists of dedicated professionals whose lived experience and training allow them to respond to a range of community concerns, from ordinance violations and panhandling to well-being checks. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gxVz-V_S. Check out a story from NBC Chicago (https://lnkd.in/gAE-YnkU).
