A CAD incident may be related to mental health for the following reasons:

2.) The call disposition description indicated that the call response involved a mental health component.
3.) A crisis counselor was assigned to the call.

5.) The subject of a use of force related to the CAD incident was assessed to have displayed Emotionally Disturbed Person (EDP) conduct.

This data excludes records that were cancelled after being identified as duplicates of the same incident, such as when two 911 calls are made for the same incident. It also excludes records that were cancelled because they were handled by another agency such as Austin Fire or Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services or because they were found to not require a police response.
