The Elk Grove Police Department understands the concerns about maintaining the quality of life in Elk Grove and assisting those who may be living on the streets. We have two dedicated officers who stay connected to our homeless population while providing resources they may need access to. We take enforcement action when needed but also try to connect those individuals who are homeless to the resources they may need to assist them with getting off the streets. We do this in collaboration and with the assistance of several organizations including Sacramento Self Help Housing and their homeless navigator.

We have two teams that include a specially trained EGPD officer and Sacramento County mental health counselor who respond to calls involving a mental health crisis. A Peer Navigator follows up for navigating support services. The Mobile Crisis Support Teams triage incoming calls and responds to evaluate the possible causes of the disturbance and assesses mental health needs with the goal of addressing the crisis in the community.
