Résumé
"Police forces work with all members of the communities they serve. Working with those with mental health problems will always be a core part of that work. However, we are concerned by the extent to which frontline officers are increasingly spending their time helping people with mental health problems. For many people experiencing an acute health crisis, a police officer is not the professional best placed to help them, nor is dealing with acute health crises the best use of police officers’ time and skills. We believe that the police should not be filling gaps in mental health services."--Page 6.
