That. Thats one reason we now have psychiatrists a psychiatrist and a psychiatric Nurse Practitioner on the ride along with us. They have been extremely helpful when we approach that individual and recognize that this person does not have the capacity to care for themselves. So address your question specifically, we have a very Good Relationship with the police, but at times, it seems their mission is different than ours, and we are able to help the people that need help with the Behavioral Health team of street medicine. Commissioner veronese so i thank you for that explanation. And i think whats important for this commission to hear is that the Police Officers job is part of the criminal justice job. Theyre part of the criminal justice program. And i would assume its my opinion that theres many people in this room that would agree, that if somebody is unable to care for themselves or they have some mental instability, and thats typically what it is, that thats not Law Enforcements jo
Feel that something must be done. So one route of placing them on hold wouldi be special calling of Police Officers. Police officers are quick to place someone on hold that are a harm to themselves.
