Hey, RAL: The City of Raleigh needs you.

To address the community’s need for crisis prevention and management, the City of Raleigh is developing an alternative response program that would allow others (not just police officers) to respond to certain 911 calls.

An important part of creating this program is community engagement — so the City is looking for your input, from naming the program to choosing its components.

See all the ways you can get involved and provide feedback.
