After reading the article “Could crisis intervention teams be the key to police reform?” by Gregg Bernstein and Lydia Watts, I was blown away by how well they stated the conflicts with out criminal justice system an how there is a solution. According to the authors of this article they believe that a police officer with guns and handcuffs, and etc create intimidation especially to those with mental health issues causing many to react in a way that can put them in a harmful situation leading to incardination and at times death. For example the article states “A long-standing program in Eugene, Oregon, known as CAHOOTS In its, 911 dispatchers are trained to recognize calls involving mental health crises, conflict resolution, substance abuse and suicide prevention  paramedics and crisis workers with experience in the mental health field, who rely on de-escalation and harm reduction techniques to respond.” After reading this I completely agree with their statement that instead police officers dealing with domestic disturbance the police system can extend their team with trained professionals in the mental health field. I believe doing this will lessen the tension between the police and many citizens and will also lower the rate of incardination and casualties all over our nation.
