- morganvachon 11y agoActually many agencies have begun training their officers to properly recognize and approach mentally/emotionally unstable people to offer them assistance, without resorting to use of force. The academy in my area calls it Crisis Intervention Training, and it is a required course for agencies who train at that facility, which is most of northwest Georgia.
