Most people would do anything to avoid a crisis. Officer Trevor Nobbs runs toward them. Nobbs, 28, serves as the Hutchinson Police Department’s representative on a Crisis Response Team, responding to calls when officers believe a person is suffering from a mental health crisis. He works with Shanon Brandon of Mirror Inc., and Rebeca Sandoval, a private clinical social worker. While it has only been in operation for nine months, the team has had a measurable impact in Hutchinson and on the department, said Hutchinson Police Chief Jeff Hooper, who presented a report on the team’s first nine months of operation to the Hutchinson City Council last week.
