By dismantling the mental illness treatment system, we have turned mental health crisis from a medical issue into a police matter… People with untreated mental illness are 16 times more likely to be killed during a police encounter than other civilians approached or stopped by law enforcement. Individuals with untreated mental illness are vastly overrepresented in every corner of the criminal justice system. The high stress of police encounters, characterized by aggressive orders and threats of violence, makes it more difficult for people in crisis to follow orders or control their actions.
People in crisis, we need appropriate alternatives to law enforcement responses. Police are trained to respond to a situation with a goal of protecting public safety and their own safety. They are used to using interventions that are designed to contain somebody that is perceived as a danger or a threat.
