Description
Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, January 30, 2025. We're starting off with some important discussions about mental health in our community. Yesterday, KFOX14 Morning Anchor Salina Madrid sat down with Officer Damien George from the El Paso Police Department's Crisis Intervention Team and mental health specialist Jessye Boutwell from the Emergence Health Network to talk about how local police respond to mental health crises. This conversation highlights the critical work being done to de-escalate emergency calls and provide support to those in need[1].
Moving on to local events, there's a lot happening in the next few days. On February 1st, you can catch Lucha League Wrestling at VFW Post 10354, complete with a free flea market and pre-show festival.

For families, Books Are Gems is offering free storytime every Saturday, and the El Paso Black Arts Association is showcasing their first art exhibit and fundraiser at the International Museum of Art[3].
In terms of weather, today is expected to be clear with a high of 57 degrees and a low of 32 degrees. Looking ahead, February is set to bring warmer temperatures, with highs often in the mid-60s and lows in the mid-40s[5].
On the job front, The Plaza Hotel is hosting a job fair for those interested in growing their careers in the hospitality industry.
