SF Supervisors Pass Crisis Intervention Resolution
supes resolution
1/7: In response to community outrage about the 6/13/01 police killing of Idriss Stelley at the Sony Metreon Theater, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution urging a dramatic increase in the police crisis intervention training program. One in every four calls to the police is regarding someone in psychiatric crisis, but currently less than 3% of SFPD officers are trained to respond. The resolution, passed on 1/7, urges the SFPD to train 25% of all first responder officers and supervisors within the next two years and ongoing at that rate until all officers are trained. If implemented, this increase would set a national precedent, making the SFPD crisis intervention training program the largest in the country.
