Relatives of Tanisha Anderson partnered with Cleveland City Council members and Case Western Reserve University students to author a new piece of legislation. As proposed, “Tanisha’s Law” would revise training regimens for mental health crises via a new Department of Community Crisis Response. This new team would try to prevent incidents like Anderson’s November 2014 death, which occurred after Cleveland Division of Police officers detained her while responding to a mental health emergency at her East Side home.
