I would support a licensing system that would screen for people that need help and providing alternatives to those people that would rather not be doing that work. Or, alternately, splitting the duties currently handled by law enforcement into law enforcement and societal support. Law enforcement would do what they do for crimes like murder or other crimes with victims other than the perpetrator but Support might detain someone in a questionable situation for a short time but would have a primary mission of identifying those that cannot help themselves for whatever reason, be it the addicted, the mentally ill, the people who risk starvation and getting them the help they need. Of course, that would be predicated on help actually being available.
