Momentum in the city of Tacoma appears to be growing for an effort to create a mental health crisis response team that would respond to some emergency calls instead of police, an effort supporters say could help stem officer-involved shootings of people suffering from mental breaks.

Community activists said Tuesday that they delivered 500 signatures to the members of the Tacoma City Council that support the idea of creating such a team.

The Tacoma proposal is based on a model in Eugene, Oregon known as the Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets or CAHOOTS.
