About the police response across from Southwest Library

Thanks for the tips/questions. We went over to check on a reported sizable police response on 35th SW across from Southwest Library, south of SW Henderson. Officers say it was a “person in crisis” situation at an apartment building, and they were arranging for the person in question to be transported to a hospital for mental-health help – that’s why, as shown in our photo, an ambulance responded too.

Need social workers not cops for this.

James, police need to determine if the person in crisis has any weapons, is threatening to harm themselves or others or is/could put the public at risk before social workers could be brought in to help.

Sorry, comment time is over.
