That just shows you just how ignorant these people are in these government positions. Talk to any police officer & they will tell you the most dangerous part of the job is a 911 call for domestic abuse. Yet they are going to send an unarmed social worker to talk to them.
In Florida we have had so many young children over looked that needed help in abusive homes. Social workers say they are so over worked that things get missed. Yet we are going to add work the police do to their work.
Now training young police officers to be trained in social work as well to go to those calls but they definitely need a stun gun & gun.
Start a new division in the police force staffed police social workers. They of course would need higher salaries.
Put a facility in neighborhoods that houses police, police social workers & fire station. More in areas that are higher in crime. Everyone will get to know each other. Social workers could plan programs for the kids. The kids would grow to trust them. They would feel safe going there if they needed help.
