MACRO is a team of trained, unarmed civilians who respond to non-emergency 911 calls, providing assistance to residents in the form of medical and mental health support and connections to social services. The program is intended to reduce the use of police, freeing up officers to address violent crime and more serious emergencies.

"We quickly were able to move to city-wide, we activated our dispatch system, we activated a phone line, we activated an email, we brought on additional staff."
