The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Minnesota presented Deputy Jim Schueller of the Olmsted’s Sherrif’s Office, with its Criminal Justice Program of the Year Award at its Annual Conference, held Nov. 3 in St. Paul. The award recognizes an individual or group in the area of criminal justice that has demonstrated through its action a strong commitment to the decriminalization of mental illnesses.
Schueller has worked in the Olmsted County detention center, and more recently as a patrol deputy. In 2007 he went through the first Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training in Rochester. He believes so strongly in CIT that he went on to become a CIT Coach and an instructor.
“As a deputy, he has used these crisis intervention and de-escalation skills on the street when responding to citizens experiencing a mental health crisis and connects people to appropriate resources,” said NAMI’s executive director Sue Abderholden. “He is known to treat people with mental illnesses with respect and dignity and is considered a great asset in his community. NAMI is honored to present Deputy Schueller with this award.
