A city announces that mental health crises will now receive response from crisis teams rather than police, and a person in psychiatric distress who would have faced armed officers instead meets clinicians who understand their experience, who do not treat them as threat, who connect them to care rather than courts - the different response producing a different outcome. A county implements co-response teams that pair police with mental health professionals, and police provide security while clinicians provide expertise, and the partnership addresses both safety and health concerns.
