The festive period can be a busy time for mental health related incidents and around 1,700 police officers are now trained in Distress Brief Intervention (DBI).
This enables officers to signpost and refer those experiencing mental health distress to the right agency which can provide the support they need, allowing officers to redirect to core policing duties.
The DBI service has helped 75,000 individuals across Scotland since it launched seven years ago in Lanarkshire, Borders, Inverness and Aberdeen.
