It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system.

We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
Kansas City Mental Health Crisis Center
The idea of a triage center for police to take people with emotional or intoxication problems instead of jail has been successful in other cities. The was already a plan in place when a funding source became available when the state negotiated with Ascension Health over the sale of two Kansas City area hospitals. State law required profits from the sale go to a not for profit effort in the same community as the hospitals. The Kansas City Assessment and Triage Center suddenly had $20 million headed its way — $2 million a year over the next 10 years.
Host Nancy Leazer talks with Stephanie Boyer, Program Director of the Crisis Center about their cooperation with the police, how they help their clientel and more.
