The
Raleigh, N.C. PD will, in a few months, begin dispatching a social
worker with the cops to calls that may involve nutters. Police Chef
Cassandra Deck-Brown announced the new program at a city council meeting
on Tuesday.
The new team
is called ACORNS, standing for "addressing crises through outreach
referrals, networking and service." (Aren't acorns nuts?)
The
eight person team will have a sergeant supervising, one detective,
three cops and three social workers (aka moving targets). The chief
hopes to have this new team up and running by years end.
The
local nutter advocate community screamed like mashed cats. They went
ZERO police response to ANY call involving a nutter no matter what the
circumstances. They are seemingly uninterested in public safety, merely
in protecting the personal safety of the nutter, who may be actively
engaged in violent, armed anti-social behavior. Oh well, they will
probably run out of ammo and get tired of swinging the machete
eventually and they can then be arrested peacefully.
