The restructured mayor's role created a new Minneapolis Office of Community Safety, with its commissioner overseeing the police and fire departments, 911 dispatch, emergency management, and violence prevention.[1] Within the office, four emergency response units serve the city: Behavioral Crisis Response (BCR), fire, emergency medical services, and police. The mental health services company Canopy Mental Health & Consulting, known as Canopy Roots, operates BCR free of charge [2] to respond to crises and some 911 calls that do not require police.[3]
