The 24/7 response team will be the first for a Contra Costa city.
Antioch moved ahead with plans to establish an alternate response to nonviolent, non-life-threatening 911 calls with the selection on Tuesday of a provider to do just that.
First proposed by Councilwoman Monica E. Wilson in 2020, the Antioch mobile crisis response team pilot program will be the first of its kind in Contra Costa County and one of only few in the Bay Area. Though the final fee has yet to be negotiated, the program, estimated at between $1.8 and $2.2 million a year, will be paid from $3.6 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act monies allocated for the purpose last April.
