“I recently had the opportunity to participate in the SPRT program and found it to be a valuable and educational experience. The reasonable length of time for program allows it to fit into an agency’s busy schedule while allowing an officer the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of the complexities involving our customers who may be in crisis or in need. Its balanced approach never underestimates the importance of officer safety but helps an officer better recognize special populations who need a professional and empathetic police response.”
