Show Notes
The Clive Police Departments Crisis Intervention Team, a vital unit handling mental health emergencies and homelessness cases, faces an uncertain future as its grant funding dwindles. The team, launched in 2023, has been hailed as one of the departments most effective programs. However, with the city having to cover rising costs starting in fiscal year 2027, the teams future hangs in the balance. Chief Mark Rehberg and team specialist Sarah Cunday express concerns about losing this jail diversion work and the need for full in-house funding. The department seeks new grants, but options are limited due to tight budgets and state legislation. Similar teams in nearby cities thrive, highlighting the importance of this program for the community.
