Are Mcits First Responders
No. Priority Response Units are the officers that respond to all calls for service including 911 emergency calls. They will attend calls for individuals experiencing a mental health crisis first to ensure it is safe for the nurse. The MCIT will then attend as secondary responders when the PRU indicates its safe to do so.
Although MCITs have traditionally been considered secondary responders, the program has evolved since its inception in 2000. The MCITs now may operate as co-responders to calls that do not include weapons or any other identified safety concerns. This means, when appropriate, MCITs will respond simultaneously with Priority Response Unit officers.

Ny Budget: Funds To Create 24/7 Mental Health Urgent Care Centers
BUFFALO, N.Y. The staff at Spectrum Health and Human Services in Buffalo were paying close attention to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s speech about the state’s budget, on Wednesday.
The governor was almost reading the description of our services as he was speaking today, said Kevin Beckman the Managing Director of Clinic Operations for Spectrum Healths Urgent Care.
We’re launching 24-hour urgent care centers, said Governor Cuomo while describing the details of the states next budget. This is an unforeseen, but very real byproduct of COVID, has been the mental health, the stress, the isolation.
Establish Urgent Care Centers for mental health and addiction services: The Budget authorizes the launch of Urgent Care Centers for mental health and addiction services. On average, more than 100,000 individuals per year benefit from crisis intervention services. These centers will be open 24/7/365 and accept all admissions without referral, including direct drop-offs by law enforcement and other first responders. This effort will streamline stabilization and reintegration for individuals in crisis.
At their Main Street location Spectrum Health has an urgent care center. People dealing mental health problems or addiction crisis can walk right into the facility to get help.
There was a ribbon cutting ceremony for the facility last September. It’s the only one of its kind in Erie County.
Those challenges, by the way, existed pre-COVID. It just exacerbated them, said Beckman.
