ALPACT Metro Lansing is inviting you to a community screening of Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops on Wednesday, September 16th, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at WKAR, located at 404 Wilson Road, Room 212, in East Lansing.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion and an opportunity for open questions and community conversation. Panelists will represent local law enforcement, mental health, community advocacy, and police training organizations.
ERNIE & JOE: CRISIS COPS is an intimate portrait of two Texas police officers who are helping change the way police respond to mental health calls. The film takes audiences on a personal journey, weaving together these two officers’ experiences during their daily encounters with people in crisis. These two officers are not your everyday cops. They are part of the San Antonio Police Department’s Mental Health Unit.
