With the exception of homelessness, well over 80% of calls for the rest are because the person has escalated a situation to a level that someone is afraid and scared or concerned enough to call 911 for help. How many abusive out of control drunks, drug abusers have some posters here gone out on the street and had to deal with them.....I thought not!
