Devon and Cornwall Police have been invited to be one of four pilot force areas in England to run a 'street triage' mental health project in 2013/14.
The project will see clinical mental health staff accompany police to emergency responses, with the clinical staff on hand to help officers decide on the best option for individuals in crisis.
They can offer professional advice on the spot, access health information systems, and help to liaise with other care services to identify the right kind of support required.
