A 708 Mental Health Board is coming to Piatt County, and a local police department is hoping to take advantage of the resource.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Monticello Police Chief Rob Bross told Regional Radio the Piatt County Mental Health Center is a great tool when working with people with addiction or mental health issues. 

The new 708 Board has not had a big impact on the police department yet because it's still in its early stages. However, Chief Bross indicates this opens up a whole new set of possibilities when it comes to mental health resources. 

Chief Bross is excited for what's to come from the 708 Mental Health Board in Piatt County.
