on Policing the Mentally Ill
here in Phoenix Arizona I had an "encounter" which resulted in the police coming to my home. The offficers were calm, confident, assesse the situation an dat all times were supportive and kind to me - helping me call my PD and insuring that everyone in the house was safe - speaking with my wife to insureshe was safe and also insuring that I was safe, took a brief history and talked to me in a reassuring way. Clearly here in Phoenix training has been taking place and it is working.
