She is called upon often to work alongside Sheriff\u2019s personnel and a wide variety of other groups. Calaveras County does not have a secure mental health holding facility. Individuals who have diagnosed and undiagnosed mental health issues or who are in crisis, often come into contact with law enforcement. Many of those individuals commit crimes and end up in county jails and hospital emergency rooms for long periods of time. The Behavioral Health Liaison position was designed to act as a solution based intermediary between the families of persons who are mentally ill, law enforcement, the hospitals, the courts and other governmental agencies. Brenda Hanley has had great success at finding resources for persons with mental illness that prevent those persons from ending up in the jail system. Her actions have reduced the numbers of emergency visits that accompany 5150 W&#038;I holds and overall her efforts are reducing the numbers of mentally ill persons who enter into our local court system. The Calaveras County Sheriff\u2019s Office would like to congratulate Brenda Hanley on receiving this award for her exemplary efforts in helping the citizens and residents of Calaveras County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Andreas, CA) On 7\/18\/18 the Calaveras County Sheriff\u2019s Office was notified that \u201cBehavioral Health Liaison\u201d Brenda Hanley is receiving an international award for \u201cLeadership in Human Rights and Civil Rights\u201d from the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
