Heroes Beyond the Badge Award Winners

We honour the Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) of Grenville County for their service. The team includes two officers and two registered nurses - PC Annie Collins, PC Dave Holmes, Kim Brouwer, and Shawna Marshall. The MCRT responds to live calls, helps to de-escalate situations involving individuals with mental health and addiction and conducts crisis intervention training. Over several months, the team worked with the family of a 13-year-old who suffered from mental health and behavioural challenges. With the help of MCRT, the family was able to secure I:I staffing and an on-site behaviourist. Since February 2021, MCRT has responded to nearly 500 calls - helping the Grenville OPP build stronger relationships with community agencies and assist those in crisis.
