ABOUT

ERNIE & JOE: CRISIS COPS is an intimate portrait of two Texas police officers who are helping change the way police respond to mental health calls.  The film takes audiences on a personal journey, weaving together these two officers' experiences during their daily encounters with people in crisis.  These two officers are not your everyday cops. They are part of the San Antonio Police Department’s Mental Health Unit.

ERNIE & JOE: CRISIS COPS has received generous support from IDA Enterprise Fund, Fork Films, The David & Lura Lovell Foundation, The Texas Mental Health Collaborative, CT Office of the Arts, and LEF Foundation.

DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

I believe strongly that my own contribution can be in raising awareness of tough societal issues through relatable characters and their stories.  While making my last film, MOTHERS OF BEDFORD, it became evident to me that there were many people with untreated mental illness sitting behind bars.  Upon learning of the innovative work of the SAPD mental health unit and meeting Ernie and Joe in person I felt compelled to make this film.  Their jail diversion work is humane and desperately needed to improve not only the health of the mentally ill, but also of their families. We have seen many films illustrating the multitude of sins in police departments across the country. ERNIE & JOE: CRISIS COPS introduces us to officers trying and succeeding in doing it right.
