We sit down with Gates Police Chief James VanBrederode and Officer Mike Furia. Officer Furia was recently praised for his interaction with a man who said he was homeless, and who officers thought was experiencing a mental health crisis. Furia brought the man to a shelter, just one day before he was shot and killed by an RPD officer.
We talk with him and the chief about responding to calls that involve mental health issues. Our guests:
- James VanBrederode, Gates Police Chief
- Mike Furia, Gates Police Officer
