Given that they are being dispatched to those incidents that cops probably wouldn't have responded with an arrest anyways, it's hard to compare.
If they or cops were dispatched entirely randomly to incidents, it would be possible to do a fair comparison so long as the number of incidents the both groups respond to were numerous enough to be statistically significant.

Why would you randomly dispatch them? That would defeat the purpose entirely of this unit.
