This is one of the most ludicrous ideas I've ever heard of in my lifetime. There will be Social Workers who will be assaulted, raped, and killed. The only way to do this is to send them with a Police escort. You are going to have a bunch of people quit if you force them into this situation.

My sense is that this mayor is trying to do something significant ... and if "some" calls can be handled better by trained therapists than policemen ... why would you object?

Why not send therapists by the hundreds into the next looting scene. (put up the gun free zone signs first though just to ensure everyone's safety.) Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. lol |

I can see a social worker type person (in one or more of those fields) accompanying 2 police officers, but certainly not going alone, AND, only after a WHOLE LOT of extra training for them, and the police officers

Some of the most dangerous calls for police officers are domestic disturbances. Do not think social workers will survive some of those calls.

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. |

Would anyone with a child trained as a social worker (MSW) advise them to apply for such a position?

The misunderstandings and implicit white privilege in most posts in this thread is epic - and sad. Wake up people - it is 2020, not 1820.

Can someone give a scenario (911 call) where it would be appropriate and safe for an unarmed social worker to go to alone? I am having a hard time thinking of one.
