Mobile Integrated Crisis Response (MICR) is a partnership between Surrey Police Service (SPS) and  Fraser Health . A uniformed SPS member and a clinical nurse specializing in mental health work together and respond to calls received involving emotional and mental health issues. The MICR team will drive in an unmarked police vehicle to enhance privacy of the individuals and families that they serve.

Mobile Integrated Crisis Response (MICR) serves residents of Surrey, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen and First Nations.

Operating from 1:00 p.m. - 1:00 a.m., 7 days a week.

What services does MICR provide? 

Mobile Integrated Crisis Response (MICR) provides on-site emotional and mental health assessments, crisis intervention and referrals to appropriate services. Referrals can be to local mental health centres, addictions services, and counselling services to name a few. MICR  facilitates admission to hospital in cases where this is needed and will take over for regular general duty police officers of the responsibility of dealing with mental health issues involved in particular calls where their specialized knowledge is required. 

What is the referral process? 

When a person is in crisis they can call the SPS non-emergency number at 604-599-0502 or by dialing 911. Call takers will receive the request and information, forward this to the dispatch centres who will dispatch a police officer. Regular police members will respond to the call and then refer it to Mobile Integrated Crisis Response (MICR) when available. When MICR is not on duty, regular SPS members will go to a call and then refer the file to MICR for them to follow up the next time that they are on duty.
