Big News For Bluejay!!

One of the most beneficial features of BlueJay is the ability for drivers to communicate any mental health conditions to responding officers.

There has been national attention shifted to the way in which police officers interact and respond to individuals with mental health conditions. Oftentimes, police officers aren’t equipped with the proper training to de-escalate a situation involving a individual suffering from a mental health episode.

As a result of this national attention and a bill recently passed, the Oklahoma City Police Department underwent 40 hours of Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) to better help individuals suffering from a mental health crisis. By including mental health information in the BlueJay Driver Profile, certified CIT officers will be able to respond and provide the necessary care to attend to that person’s unique needs.
