PUEBLO — A group that helps the Pueblo Police Department with things like welfare checks, suicide calls, and trespassing calls is showing the impact it has made.

Health Solutions started its outreach services team a year and a half ago with the Pueblo Police Department to assist during low-level emergencies.

The three person team has helped with more than 1,000 calls in that time.

"I am in awe every day of what the team is doing, and it is a great feeling," said Richelle Brown, S.O.S. Supervisor. "I've been in the field for over 20 years and I'm still somebody who is out there wanting to make a difference in the world."

Health Solutions also helped the Pueblo Police Department through its crisis intervention team, which helps with high-level emergency calls.
