Embedded Social Worker

Social Worker- Jess 

Jess is in the office one day a week.  During those times she sometimes
accompanies officers on daytime mental health calls, offering support,
resources and information to people in crisis. She also does follow-up visits 
with people who’ve interacted with police when she wasn’t on the clock,
making sure they get the help they need.

Jess can be reached via email at jhthurston@daytonpolice.org
