I was really surprised tonight. The county facebook page shows about 20 law enforcement officers (from several counties) who completed training in dealing with mental health issues and talking to people instead of getting angry or violent.

I'm shocked because I live in an extremely rural area and there is a general lack of funding for things and I never dreamed they'd do this. It's probably a grant but even so someone had to take the time to write the grant and get it approved.

I'm proud of my little county and the "good 'ole boys" in the sheriffs department.
