I think that some social workers will refuse to go into certain neighborhoods even if they were armed. And, how many female social workers are going to respond to a 911 call at night in a strange neighborhood. Who thinks this is a good idea?
Seriously social workers, how are they going to get these slow people to talk to them. First of all they probably won’t understand what they’re trying to tell them in 2 mins. because that’s about as long as they’ll probably listen. Thanks for the article retiredguy123 ,I’m just amazed how scared our officials are that they are resorting to this. Personally I think it’s a big waste of time!
