Additionally, we gave a history of the criminal justice system and mental health system changes over the past few decades.
Two Hundred members of the public participated in the in-person meeting and an additional Seventy-Five attended online. The purpose of this presentation to the council is to give an overview of the information discussed at the meeting and give the council the opportunity to discuss the issues.
