on Policing the Mentally Ill

That's OK. Common Error. I am hoping in the future when you do shows on mental health issues that you include as your scheduled guests people who have been receipients of mental health services. I am not sure why you have not included us before. I will guarantee the conversations will flow toward human rights if you do.

on Policing the Mentally Ill

As a person who has been part of the CIT training process it is important to help police understand that they may need to learn how to wear different hats. Most of the time the police mission is to have people comply to authority. When working with someone in crisis these techniques don't necessarily get through to the affected person. Also, the reason police are involved with people in mental health crisis is that they are the first responders in these calls. We cannot send ambulances because of the possible public safety issues.
