A joint session of the Montgomery County Council Public Safety and Health & Human Services committees received an Office of Legislative Oversight (OLO) briefing on OLO Report 2025‑10 examining county call‑center responses to mental health crises. OLO described how five county call centers (the county crisis center, 988, the Montgomery County hotline, 911/ECC and 311) define and route imminent and non‑imminent risk calls, compared volumes and resolution methods, and offered recommendations to increase call‑taking capacity, interoperability, and disaggregated data collection. County and nonprofit stakeholders described recent phone‑system upgrades, MCOT capacity increases and a co‑response pilot; councilmembers pressed for timelines and data sharing agreements.
