    It’s also a general policy that a domestic violence call will always receive a visit. Even if there is a call to cancel it. The risk is too high of an abusers influence for the police to not visit and clear the scene.

    So it’s good the SIU is looking into what happened here.

      That should be the case, but speaking from experience (family member), this doesn’t always happen. A cancelled call tends to get cancelled with zero follow up.

      Perhaps it’s different where you live.

      But yes, the SIU should be investigating, and it’s good that they are.

        Oh yes – I have experience with plenty of mental health calls. Just because it’s policy doesn’t mean it gets followed.
