Summary
"Throughout the domestic research and global studies, the members of ISIS 2014 recognized that persons experiencing mental health issues are not solely a policing matter. In a perfect world, such individuals would receive the care and supports they need and continue to live stable lives as they head back to recovery, and never come upon the radar of the police. However, the domestic research has demonstrated that many persons suffering from mental illness seem to travel a too-frequent journey into compounding risk factors, and many ultimately end up in some form of crisis that requires the intervention of police; far too often such interventions result in tragedy for the individual, trauma for police members, and discredit to the profession. The Canadian policing and health communities, as well as other stakeholders, need to know that heightened action must be taken to reduce and remedy these tragic situations."--page 22.
