Congratulations to Cpl. Nathaniel McCarty! At the NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) and Alabama CIT (Crisis Intervention Team) annual conference, McCarty received the Sheriff Derrick Cunningham First Responder of the Year Award.
Cpl. McCarty was nominated based on his commitment to improving law enforcement response to citizens of Mobile who live with mental health and other related disorders. McCarty is a certified CIT Coordinator and Trainer through CIT International. He is passionate about improving officer training, connections to treatment and support for those individuals who have called 911 or whom 911 has been called to provide assistance.
He's been instrumental in enhancing in-service training for all MPD officers, providing training to other departments in our community, bringing co-response and the iPad remote clinical response to Mobile, allowing officers to connect individuals in crisis to a clinician 24/7 from wherever they are. His passion for improving the lives of those living with mental illness is truly a blessing to Mobile.
THANK YOU, Cpl. McCarty, for all that you do!
