The Union County Prosecutor's Office announced on Tuesday the expansion of New Jersey's highly regarded ARRIVE Together program to additional police departments in Union County. The program aims to provide a compassionate response to 9-1-1 calls involving mental health crises by teaming up a police officer trained in crisis intervention with a civilian certified mental health screener. Both the officer and the crisis worker wear plain clothes and arrive in an unmarked police vehicle, with the mental health screener taking the lead during the encounter.
