[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Who do you plan to send in the middle of exited delirium? A social worker? A paramedic?[/quote] Honestly, what makes a police officer better-suited to help in this situation? [b]It's not like they've received specialized training in how to deal with the mentally ill[/b].[/quote] Exited delirium has NOTHING to do with a mental illness. So, who do you plan to send in?[/quote] They have in some areas. Bexas County (San Antonio) has a great program where certain officers were in fact specially trained in mental illness and how to respond in a better way. They responded in a less punitive way, and more around "what does this person need to get to a safe place." Arrests went down, because they aren't criminalizing mental illness. It CAN be done. Just very few departments care enough to do it, and just arrest everyone.[/quote]
