MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HENNEPIN COUNTY C.O.P.E.
Provide effective and compassionate crisis
intervention to individuals with mental illness in the community.
Deliver a more comprehensive service to those with a
mental illness as law enforcement officers work alongside mental health professionals who can conduct onsite assessments with greater knowledge
Reduce hospitalization and/or arrest of mentally ill
individuals
Reduce injuries to officers, individuals experiencing mental
illness and others involved
Reduce future Use of Force events Reduce time non Co-Responder officers spend on EDP calls Provide a service where there currently is a gap. Disparity
exists to obtain mental health services and this program fills some of that gap. While services exist in every precinct to provide support to those who experience mental illness – access to them may not be so easy to acquire.
The Co-Responder Team consists of five sworn MPD Officers and
five mental health professionals from Hennepin County’s COPE (Community Outreach for Psychiatric Emergencies) and Child Crisis.
The Co-Responder Unit has five un-marked squad cars equipped
with lights, siren and a computer.
The Co-Responder Team is housed in each of the respective
precincts where we operate, the Unit as a whole responds to calls for service city-wide.
Co-Responder Team members wear ‘soft’ uniforms consisting of full
duty belt, navy blue duty pants and a navy blue polo shirt with MPD insignia.
Office technology requirements: five city computers and five office
The Co-Responder Team hours of operation are 10 AM – 6 PM,
Monday-Friday.
The Co-Responder Unit started as a pilot project in
the Third and Fifth Precincts (September, 2017)
January, 2019 the unit expanded to downtown
Minneapolis First Precinct
May, 2019 the unit expanded into North Minneapolis
Fourth Precinct.
June, 2019 the unit expanded city-wide with the
extension into NE Minneapolis 2nd Precinct.
Co-Responder Team members monitor 911 calls,
particularly EDP calls city-wide, for all five Precincts.
Officers who have been dispatched to an EDP call, or
find themselves on a call that would benefit from the presence of Co-Responders, may request the team to respond.
Team Members provide outreach with the unhoused
community members in Minneapolis.
Team members attend community meetings and
mental health site visits.

911 Response Call: When the Co-Responder Unit responds to assist a dispatched squad on a 911 call that came in from dispatch, predominantly EDP calls.
Follow-up Call: When the Co-Responder Unit conducts follow-up with an EDP client either from a previous contact with a client by the Co-Responder Unit or from an EDP call that was made outside of the Co-Responder Unit hours. (10 am – 6 pm) *Some of the follow-up calls are based on data/tips received from patrol officers, CPS staff or the community requesting that the Co-Responder Unit look into a possible EDP to ensure that they are receiving the appropriate mental health resources and services.
