The Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) has announced its newest member, Support K9 NAMI, who joined the team in July 2022. Thanks to a generous donation from Beverly Hills Police Foundation Board Member and mental illness advocate, Janis Black Warner, BHPD was able to adopt and train NAMI. After a department-wide name voting opportunity, employees favored the name NAMI, which stands for National Alliance on Mental Illness. The National Alliance on Mental Illness supports mental wellness and provides educational opportunities to those who struggle with mental illness.
Police Department employees are simply enamored with NAMI.
