San Francisco’s innovative approach
The Coordinated Street Response Program reduces police response to people having:
- Mental health emergencies
- Medical and wellness issues
When to call 911 and 311
911 is for police, fire, and medical emergencies. A mental health or substance use crisis is a medical emergency. Calling 911 puts you in contact with a trained dispatcher. They will send the most appropriate response team for each situation.
311 is for non-emergency situations, city services, and information.
