We are building safer communities through strong partnerships and local collaborations

Canopy Roots realizes our mission through strategic partnerships with governments, agencies, and other entities. Our partnerships are built on a mutual commitment to our values, goals, and methodologies for reimagining public safety beyond police and providing unarmed, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive crisis services.

Below are are few highlights of our recent government partnerships:

  • City of Minneapolis - Behavioral Crisis Response Provider (2021-Present)

  • City of Brooklyn Center - Expanded Response Team Provider (2024-Present)

  • Twin Cities Metro Transit - Community Response Team Provider (2026-Present)

  • City of Los Angeles - CIRCLE Provider for Hollywood (2024-2025)

  • City of St Paul - Technical Assistance Provider for the Office of Neighborhood Safety (2024-2025)

  • Pohlad Foundation - Technical Assistance Provider for Reimagine Public Safety Project (2024-2025)

Partnership Highlight: Minneapolis, MN

Since the launch of the Minneapolis Behavioral Crisis Response unit in December 2021, Canopy Roots has: 

  • Responded to more than 44,000 calls via 911 with zero serious injuries to recipients or responders due to intentional and detailed protocols and policies.

  • Hired a predominantly Black, Indigenous, Brown workforce of highly trained mental health professionals and practitioners to mirror the community.

  • Become the 4th branch of public safety dispatched by 911 alongside Fire, EMS, and Police.

We know that the effects of trauma and mental health issues impact people of all ages nationwide. Getting support should not be complicated.  Instead, we believe behavioral crises should be treated like any other emergency with trained professionals dispatched via 911. 

We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with public and private partners who share our goal of building a safer community.
