Police integration benefits mental health teams
An independent study (2008–2019) shows that integrating police officers into Victoria's Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams reduces violence risks while enhancing mental health support without criminalizing mental illness. VicPD officers collaborate with health professionals to help clients stabilize in the community, reducing their involvement with the justice system. The report highlights improved safety for clients and staff, especially among racialized clients, and emphasizes that police focus on mental health, not criminality. This partnership model is praised for its positive impact on both clients and the broader community. Full report at vicpd.ca.
