[quote=Anonymous]I have been listening to The DC City Council hearing on B23-0882 "Policing Bills"

It is very "pie in the sky" and simply seeks to reallocate funds right now for many experiments. Everybody is well meaning but the ideas are drawn up in a vacuum and not even bounced again any sort of white boarded "what are the potential outcomes" type of activity.

I just wanted to throw this slide into the discussion with some data from the DC Justice Lab.

Interestingly a great deal of the solution actually seem to be putting more responsibility on the 911 operators to make decisions about which resources they will send to a call. I find this interesting as we have a hard enough time in this city simply determining which jurisdictional force we will send to a response. It was only a few weeks ago we had multiple drownings in a week because 911 operators sent EMS to the wrong addresses.

The LEAPS program everybody is pitching wants two man/woman counselor teams responding to all non violent 911 calls.[/quote]
