Position Summary:
The Co-Responder Clinician III (CORE Clinician) acts as a first responder to mental health emergencies in partnership with Public Safety personnel—including paramedicine professionals and law enforcement officers.

This role provides:
  • Primary de-escalation and clinical crisis intervention
  • Rapid assessment of high-risk, high-acuity behavioral health emergencies.
  • Critical clinical judgment to guide police and medical actions.
  • Field-based evaluation, stabilization, and facilitation of appropriate follow-up care.

Clinicians handle dynamic, rapidly evolving situations and may prepare legal documents for transport or admission to appropriate levels of care, including:
  • Mental health holds
  • Court-ordered psychiatric evaluations
  • Emergency commitments
  • Involuntary substance use treatment petitions

The CORE program is flexible and continuously adapts to community needs. Clinicians also serve as liaisons to community service agencies and play a key role in connecting individuals to long-term support.

Principal Duties:
  • Respond to behavioral health calls alongside law enforcement, fire, and paramedicine personnel.
  • Provide clinical crisis intervention, biopsychosocial evaluations, problem identification, and referrals.
  • Scaffold skill-building and broker services through a strong community referral network.
  • Conduct follow-up within 72 hours to support continuity of care.
  • Execute mental health holds (M1 and M3), when appropriate.
  • Provide short-term case management as needed.
  • Maintain accurate and timely clinical documentation.
  • Participate in team meetings, in-service trainings, clinical supervision, and departmental activities.
  • Conduct community outreach for individuals in behavioral health crisis.
  • Deliver training and participate in outreach events to educate the community on CORE services.
  • Collaborate with community agencies and stakeholders for coordinated support.
  • Transport clients as needed.
  • Work closely with case management partners and allied agencies to support client success.

Working Environment:
Clinicians respond from a police vehicle with an assigned CORE Officer and Paramedic to major emergencies, including:
  • Active shootings, stabbings, major traffic accidents (including fatalities)
  • Menacing, SWAT incidents, armed suicidal subjects.
  • Child abuse, domestic violence.
  • Serious medical emergencies.
  • Exposure to infectious diseases (scabies, bed bugs, hepatitis, etc.)
  • Overdose and narcotics-related calls.

Safety conditions require:
  • Wearing tactical/bullet-proof body armor.
  • Using defensive tactics and scene safety practices.

Clinicians work throughout the community, including:
  • Homes, parks, greenways.
  • Emergency rooms, psychiatric units, nursing homes.
  • Jail and juvenile detention facilities.
  • Community agency sites.

Some work occurs in traditional office settings. Regular contact with individuals experiencing acute crisis is expected. Travel throughout Boulder County may be required.

Clinicians are stationed at the Longmont Department of Public Safety.

Qualifications:
  • Minimum two years of experience in clinical settings providing crisis interventions.
  • Master’s degree in social work, psychology, or related field.
  • Current Colorado LCSW or LPC license.
  • Valid Colorado Driver’s License and good driving record.
  • Preferred: Bilingual (English/Spanish), intermediate or advanced proficiency.

The City may consider equivalent combinations of education, skills, and experience.
The City is committed to building a diverse team that reflects the community we serve.

Selection Process:
Includes:
  • Complete job description review.
  • Personal interview.
  • Background investigation.
  • Criminal history check.
  • Substance screening
  • Unescorted Security Clearance (required)
