Renfrew OPP and Pembroke Regional Hospital have joined forces to create a mobile crisis response team.
These teams are used for a joint response to people in mental health distress or those dealing with an addiction-related crisis.
Over the last few years, these collaborations have been evolving and enhanced to include mental health experts co-responding with police.
Support also continues after the call for service and referrals are made to applicable agencies in Renfrew County.
MCRT’s have been active in the Renfrew detachment since 2020.
