Earlier, sir,
00:01
Behavioral crisis at Union.
00:03
Did you make contact with the individual or see him in the basement there?
00:09
No, I called three to four times while I was 6'1, no answer in the callback.
00:14
We went down into the basement, spoke with multiple nurses and staff.
00:20
We said they're not aware of anybody by that name, nor do they have anybody like that,
00:25
and that there's nobody who was in crisis or having mental issues.
00:30
They also advised that the basement is a psych ward, so they would not need to call since it's already a psych ward and the person would probably already be admitted.
00:40
All right, I copy.
00:41
Because the individual is calling back, stating having PTSD, mental issues, need inpatient treatment.
00:51
I will try to call the number again, but if the base hits the psych ward already in the hospital, they are not going to need us.
00:58
He's already there.
00:59
But I'll call.
