Ambulance Company and Bonita House, to provide assessment, crisis

CATT is comprised of an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and a

self-harm in public settings including assisting individuals who
present as disoriented, delusional and/or exhibiting symptoms of
intoxication. In addition to behavioral health assessment and

such as laptops, tablets, two way radios, dispatch systems, and
other mobile devices.
