Actually the City Council debate, that did not include any opportunity for public comments, was illuminating.

VicPD’s report to Council treated police involvement in mental health services as natural and normal.

More important is what was missing from the conversation. Others used destructive stereotypes of deviant, dangerous, out of control, mentally ill people, while a solitary ones capable of managing certain people. That said, he claimed that without police present these clients would have no access to care.

That said, this year VicPD are trying again to get more money by repackaging really similar proposal, boosted by their new Mental Health Strategy.

VicPD’s position is that police and health workers sharing essential information will get people have more clients by protecting health workers during visits with the most dangerous of their clients. While reconfiguring its existing budget to insert another officer in the ACT teams, in 2016 Victoria Council voted against the additional funding but VicPD went ahead with putting more cops into mental health services anyway.

Whenever acting Victoria Police Chief Del Manak requested that Victoria City Council add $ 240000 to VicPD’s $ 52 million annual budget in case you are going to embed more police in mental health services, on January 9.

a two hour debate resulted in postponement of the decision until January 26th to give the public a chance to weigh in on if the police should have an increased role in mental health services and if the City will be the source of funding for this expanded role.

While tripling the actual number of officers involved in this mental health response team, s budget ask is for two more officers to liaise with the four Assertive Community Treatment teams in Victoria.
