The mission of the Mental Health Task Force Unit is to advocate, educate, and enforce the shift of mentally ill persons out of the criminal justice system and into the proper care facilities. The Mental Health Task Force works to actively reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and act as an instrument of advocacy to stem the decades-long migration of the mentally ill into the criminal justice system focusing on intervening and de-escalating encounters with mentally ill individuals experiencing a crisis.
