“There was an approved 302 (Mental Health Procedures Act allowing for involuntary commitment for psychiatric evaluation) involved for a 34-year-old male who his mom was a little concerned. He put some statements up on social media, and he has been kind of having this fixation on her, her boss, and she was getting a little worried. So, they called us to come out to see if we can help because he had locked himself in his room.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Krystian Gardener, clinician with Crisis Intervention Response Team, Philadelphia Police Department’s Behavioral Health Unit:
“So when we got there, we were just there more to kind of de-escalate. He was already locked in the bathroom. He had issues with police. So, us just coming in and being able to say, yes, we are still here in a police capacity, but we’re more here for the path of least resistance. We just want everybody to be safe, you to be safe. How can we, you know, support you in getting to the hospital, getting to talk to somebody and then, you know, get into a better place.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Krystian Gardener, clinician with Crisis Intervention Response Team, Philadelphia Police Department’s Behavioral Health Unit:
“I think there was a large police presence there which made him more anxious. So, I think just being able to say, okay, let us give you a little bit. So, we’ll having everybody kind of leave except us make you feel more comfortable. And then that drops a crowd of ten to a crowd of two. So that immediately brought his anxiety down. He was more willing to talk. He was willing to open the door. So, I think just us being there and being able to say, yes, we’re police, but in a different capacity meant everything.”
