One of my clients was having a tough day. He lost it in a public area took me five minutes to deescalate him. I had to grab him as he started walking in traffic.
Someone thought we were fighting and called the cops. @Duracuir1 was ready to put both of us in handcuffs until I got out my badge and explained the situation. Cool cop backed off let me do my thing.

Sometimes just seeing police escalates the population I work with. The cop did offer to call more social workers to the scene but we were at the end of the tirade so I was good.

I took that training to assist police in dealing with mental health crisis situations. But as @Duracuir1 knows it’s not that I don’t like cops, I just feel better when they aren’t around.
