We are working to ensure the Attorney General collects yearly data on how law enforcement interacts with people experiencing mental illness. This will help us understand these encounters better and inform policies to improve public safety and mental health responses.

If law enforcement can’t handle mental health, maybe it’s time we admit they’re part of the problem, not the solution.

Counting cops’ encounters with mental illness might not fix everything, but it’s a start — sometimes the first step is just knowing the score.

Sure, track the data — just don’t let it turn into another excuse to tie police hands behind their backs.

Tracking these interactions is step one — fixing the system is step two, but hey, at least we’re counting.

More government data collection? How about less red tape and more support for law and order.
