Strategies and services to mitigate the risk for violent behavior in individualsdealing with mental health and/or substance use disorders, including crisisintervention programs and services.

Crawford County Sheriff’s Office currently serves as the primary agency for 65% of the county’s population. In the date range (2016-2020) the Sheriff’s office investigated 82% of all aggravated assaults and 100% of homicides that accorded in Crawford County.
