He just wants to know what his fate is going to be just to be sentenced already. Five years. He has essentially been discarded. He has been attacked physically. He's been mentally tortured. He was 155 pounds at the time of his arrest. He's probably 250 pounds now. There's no exercise. There's infrequent access to fresh air. It's a brutal, brutal existence.

Yeah, one bill that I advocated very strongly for in different iterations, three times later, it is now the law, it's for crisis intervention team training for police officers. I thoroughly believe if any officer in our police department, because not one officer in our police department

had crisis intervention team training, even though it's a program available through the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services in our state, if just one hadn't, maybe Ellis's trajectory could have been completely different. Because upon listening to all of the audio conversations of the police officers, like I'm calling saying like, he never came home.

You know, you had him and he never came home. And then the officer would say, this is a family matter. This is not a police. Or, you know, I'd call back and then they would say, the mom keeps calling and she's ramping up again. The lieutenant would say, you know what to do. Get rid of her. They just dismissed us completely.

Yeah, when you look at it, I mean, I live in Guilford, Connecticut. It's like a little suburb. It has a very low primary. You're much more likely as a police officer to have a domestic situation like what happened to us than to have to pull a firearm for a serious, you know, dangerous situation.

I think the statistic is, upon speaking with the police chief at the time, it's more than half the calls, yet they have no training. They had no training. So the law now in Connecticut, and it went into effect this year, is if you're a new police officer caught by getting hired, you have to have crisis intervention team training.

And every police department has to collaborate with a social worker. So that is part of a bill that I testified for and that my local senator had gotten off the ground, Christine Cohen, who covers Guilford, Connecticut. I'm also the co-president of NAMI now for NAMI Shoreline that covers Guilford. So to go through crisis intervention team training, DEMIS covers most of it.
