Detective honored for lifesaving mental health intervention
During a recent Mill Creek government meeting, Detective Tracy Crino was honored as the Officer of the Month for September 2024, recognizing her exceptional contributions to the police department's mental health unit. Detective Crino played a pivotal role in a road rage incident where her guidance helped newer officers navigate a complex situation, ultimately leading to the identification of a suspect. Her extensive experience and willingness to assist have made her an invaluable asset to the precinct.

In addition to her fieldwork, Detective Crino developed and taught a comprehensive mental health training class for the entire police department, demonstrating her commitment to enhancing the skills of her colleagues in handling mental health crises. Community members have praised her efforts, noting that her follow-up care has significantly impacted families dealing with mental health issues, with one mother stating that Detective Crino \"saved her daughter's life.\"

The meeting also featured public comments, with resident Pete Leah Colpus expressing frustration over unresolved community issues, including inadequate street lighting and road maintenance. He criticized the allocation of funds for recreational projects, such as a pickleball court, while essential infrastructure needs remain unmet. Colpus's remarks highlighted ongoing concerns about public safety and the responsiveness of local government to citizen complaints.

The meeting concluded with a transition to the discussion of Ordinance 24-49, indicating the council's ongoing legislative work amidst community concerns.
