[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 66968, member: 1498"] One other advantage may be that, if possible, the officer(s) who respond may be ones who have experience dealing with people with nuerobiological disorders. Once my son called 911 on us -- he was in one of those paranoid, delusional states where he was raging but claiming [i]we[/i] were out of control. (By the time the police arrived, he was eating a bottle of pills after locking himself in the garage.) Immediately after he called 911 I called back and explained what was going on. One of the responding officers -- the one who took charge of the situation, ended up staying at the hospital with us and doing the police report -- is the son of a woman with schizophrenia. He's been through it, he understood, and he probably kept my son from getting hurt or charged with a crime because that time it took two officers to restrain him and he spent a lot of time kicking the doors and windows of the police cruiser until the rage passed. The other time police were involved with my son an officer responded who didn't get it at all and couldn't get past the idea that might, power and domination was the way to go. That time it took four grown men to pin my son to the floor and the raging went on far, far longer than it needed to. (Of course, no one would listen to me, what did I know, I'm just the mother....)
