AMHERST – Town Manager Paul Bockelman on Wednesday said a $449,949 state grant would be matched by the town, bringing to $899,898 the amount he would allocate to fund alternatives to traditional police operations methods.
“The Amherst Town Council’s goal is to explore alternative options of providing services to respond to issues of homelessness, mental health, and other non-criminal calls to emergency dispatch. Based on the intense work of the Community Safety Working Group (CSWG), Town staff competed successfully to win this grant which will provide the resources needed to develop our new community responder program,” he said in a statement.
It says money would underwrite planning and implementation of the Community Response for Equity, Safety & Service (CRESS) program.
