John —
The first piece of legislation I introduced last year — the Law Enforcement Training for Mental Health Crisis Response Act — needs your support now more than ever.
Did you know that 1 in 10 calls for police response involve a person suffering from a mental illness, and 1 in every 4 people fatally shot by police suffer from a mental health problem. Right now, police officers do not receive the training needed to properly handle situations where someone is in a mental health crisis.
Now is the time for change, and words are not enough. Will you add your name to support my call for increased mental health crisis training for law enforcement officers?
SIGN ON
We must take immediate action in order to pass this bipartisan, commonsense legislation.
Thank you to the NAACP Oklahoma City Branch, Black Lives Matter — Oklahoma City, Oklahomans for Criminal Justice reform, and all the organizations who have already backed this bill — now it’s time for my colleagues in Congress to answer the call.

Thank you for joining me,
