Leavenworth city commissioners were briefed this week on a new Municipal Court diversion program for people with mental health problems. "We continue to deal with issues regarding mental health as a public safety issue," Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens said. He addressed commissioners when they met Tuesday for a study session. He said Leavenworth police officers responded to 166 mental health calls last year.
