    They actually are trained in psychology and emergency health, in Australia. There was a task force built in 08, and it’s since been rolled out, so every officer has mhit (mental health intervention training). Not that I don’t agree that police shouldn’t be involved, even if trained, because regardless, it’s too terrifying for someone having a mental health breakdown.
