(KNSI) – The St. Cloud Police Department will be going to the dogs.
On November 26th, the agency is holding its monthly dog walker meeting, which will focus on mental health. The gathering will be at the St. Cloud Police Department between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m.
Those who attend will hear about the SCPD’s Mental Health Response Unit from officers, therapists and paramedics on the team. Everyone is invited, including their four-legged friends.
The program aims to enlist people taking their pets for a stroll to act as eyes and ears in their neighborhood against suspicious activity. It helps teach members how to recognize potential problems and who they should contact, whether law enforcement or city workers, to resolve them.
