A big THANK YOU to Newport County Community Mental Health Center Grant Specialist Lucy Kinsley, Director of Access, Outpatient and Emergency Services Dee Tavares, and CEO of Newport Mental Health Jamie Lehane for meeting with us today to start the conversation of a permanent partnership with the police department! Lots of exciting ideas to address the mental health concerns of our Town. Also, our own Sergeant John LeDuc has been assigned to lead our first full-time Community Policing Unit! Please feel free to offer congratulations to Sergeant LeDuc for all his hard work. More to come soon!!
