Well, no, they don't. Again, it depends on the officers involved. Now, there are efforts to train police forces. And some cities have taken up this kind of training and they have special officers designated for this kind of work. But of course, if that officer is not on duty, call comes in, your dealer will, you know, who knows.

Yes. And that is one reason that out of all the groups I've seen over the years, including NAMI, been around for many, many years, and stands for the National Alliance of Mentally Ill, and it claims to advocate for the mentally ill. It doesn't do anywhere near an adequate job.
