Certain cops here mocked this idea

Hopefully it works out

People made fun of this saying they were going to send social workers out to stop the most violent gang leaders and terrorists

Instead of cops and paramedics responding to 911 mental health calls, three-person teams of social workers and paramedics respond instead. In 95 percent of those cases, the city said, the subject of the call accepted the team's offer of assistance.

In the old cop-EMS model, that rate was 82 percent.

So an increase of 13%

I can't read the article at the moment, but what do they count as a mental health crisis?

Depending on what it means, then it seems like a sensible change. Unless there is a reasonable expectation of violence, a social worker would probably be better equipped than the police.

I wonder also if cops are leery of overstepping with a social worker around. Which if that's the case, good. If all it takes is for a social worker to babysit the police, that'd be awesome.

You mean you don't need a trigger happy dude with a gun to handle a non violent person having a mental breakdown?

Funny how social workers dont immediately fear for their lives but cops seem to always be afraid. What pussies lol.
