SUMMARY: Person(s) Experiencing Mental Health Crisis
Case #: N/A
Since the start of the summer weather, the Wilmington Police Department has seen a substantial increase in calls for assistance for person(s) experiencing a mental health crisis or in a pre-crisis stage. To illustrate this increase, over a four day period of time (6/2-6/6) WPD responded to at least nineteen incidents related to mental health issues. These incidents ranged from destruction of private property, indecent exposure, interfering with traffic, trespassing, suicidal ideations, harassment, citizen disputes, and actual attempted suicides.
Currently WPD is responding to emergencies as we always have but non-emergency calls can expect a delayed response during these high call volumes.
