These programs aren't like that. A van shows up, a medic and someone with experience dealing with mental health issues. They talk to people help them with some basic needs, drive them to a clinic if they need detox (and want to go) or otherwise just get them to stop doing whatever it was that caused someone to call 911. The STARS people have no authority to cart people off, and are trained to avoid physical confrontation. If people get violent or need to be physically removed, they protect themselves and call the police. |
