The Albuquerque Community Safety Department (ACS) is the newest branch of the city’s 911-emergency response system.
ACS is a new alternative response model gaining national attention, garnering recent coverage by NPR, the Washington Post, NBC and other national media outlets. ACS is one of the first of its kind. As a cabinet-level department, it is the third branch of public safety, meaning it is on equal footing with the police and fire departments. ACS addresses calls involving mental health, homelessness, substance use, and other issues that do not require a paramedic or police officer. Calls are triaged by 911 and 311 operators, ensuring ACS’s calls are non-medical and non-violent.
Deputy Director, Jasmine Desiderio, see bio below, will speak about the department’s mission and accomplishments in its first two years of operation. She will address challenges and goals for the future.
Thursday, September 14th @ Noon—1 PM
LWVCNM Conference Room, 6739 Academy Road NE, and via ZOOM (invitation below) ample parking
If you plan to join us in person an RSVP is appreciated: lunch@lwvcnm.org or 505-881-8441
