Safety and Mental Health Alternative Response Training Center - SMART Center |
|
After three years of work that included building partnerships, securing grant funding, and several months of construction, Dakota County held a ribbon cutting ceremony for their Safety and Mental Health Alternative Response Training (SMART) Center in Inver Grove Heights on Monday, September 27, 2021.
The need for this as the demands and roles of law enforcement and other first responders has changed, more of their calls involve people in crisis. First responders need the skills and training to recognize when a person is in crisis and have the necessary tools to help them deal with these dangerous situations. The SMART Center will provide and offer statewide training to police and first responders.
