The DHS wants to hear from you at this presentation and discussion on Alternative Response.
Join the Allegheny County Department of Human Services for an information session, Q&A, and group discussions. Learn what piloting Alternative Response in Monroeville will look like and discuss how you think it should be implemented. Alternative Response is a model in which unarmed, trained responders are asked to respond to 911 call instead of law enforcement.
We are working to be able to provide childcare during the event for children under 10 years old, so please mark your need for childcare in the registration and we will be in touch to confirm our ability to provide it. Snacks will be provided.
We value your time. The first 20 Monroeville residents who register to attend, and then attend and participate in the event will be compensated with a $25 gift card.
If you have questions about this event or alternative response, email
DHS-alternativeresponse@alleghenycounty.us.
