Policy Proposal 5: Transparency and Harm Reduction Around Policing Mental Health Crises
There should be thorough risk assessments conducted to consider whether police should attend a call-out. If they do attend, they should be in plainclothes (with covert body armour if necessary). Paramedics, on-call social workers, and other emergency responders should also receive personal safety training.
Ensure that data and statistics around police intervention in mental health crises is made available to the public, to assess if police involvement in mental health call-outs is actually required.
