概要

Have you ever wondered what would happen if, instead of calling the police for every emergency, we had trained professionals responding to mental health crises or homelessness? It’s a fascinating idea, and it’s gaining traction across the country, reshaping how communities view public safety.In cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, there’s a movement underway to redirect specific 911 calls from police officers to specialized non-police responders. For instance, in Los Angeles, the police union is advocating for categorizing 28 types of calls—including those related to mental health and homelessness—for non-police response. This approach allows officers to focus more on serious crimes while ensuring that individuals needing care receive appropriate help.San Francisco is leading the charge with its Street Crisis Response Team. This innovative initiative has responded to over 12,500 calls in just over a year, averaging roughly 29 calls a day. The key here is speed and specialization; the team responds to incidents within 16 minutes, providing urgent care without the need for police involvement.
