Psychological Crisis

Emergency Contacts 

• Department of Public Safety 9111
• If Public Safety cannot be reached 911

A psychological crisis exists when an individual is threatening harm to himself/ herself or to others, or is apparently out of touch with reality for any reason; eg: severe drug reactions or a psychotic break which may be manifested by hallucinations, uncontrollable behavior, (or the person could be a State Hospital Walk-Away.)

If a psychological crisis occurs:

1. Never try to handle a situation on your own, if you feel it is dangerous.
2. Notify the Department of Public Safety of the situation, dial 9111. Clearly state that you need immediate assistance, give your name, your location and the area involved.
3. In extreme emergencies, contact will be made by the Department of Public Safety with Bay County Central Dispatch, 911 for assistance where necessary.
