The Aug. 25 Live with Lili event featured a special debut appearance by the Beverly Hills Police Department’s (BHPD) newest member, support K9 NAMI. Escorted in by BHPD Chief Mark Stainbrook, NAMI is the city’s designated mental health dog. His name is an acronym for National Alliance on Mental Illness. NAMI resides at the police department and is available for drop in visits from the community.
“If you come by the police station, she’s there 24/7 and she provides mental health support to officers,” Stainbrook said. “The dispatcher loves to have her in dispatch she’s always going around to different departments.”
