As the country looks for better alternatives to police for people in crisis, Eugene, Oregon’s CAHOOTS is the model.  So what happens when a much bigger city tries this approach?

In this episode, we talk to Colorado Public Radio journalist David Sachs, who has been reporting on the STAR program, in Denver – an attempt to do for his city what CAHOOTS did for much smaller Eugene.  His work on STAR has been heard on NPR, and has been published in Denverite.
