The Los Angeles Police Department may no longer send armed police officers to certain calls for service under a new proposal.
Aimed at providing trauma training and services to community intervention workers, the Project TURN initiative was introduced by Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, who chairs the City Council's public safety committee.
The program seeks to help the over 100 community intervention workers in the city with training provided by the Community Based Public Safety Collective, The Reverence Project and the BUILD Program. They will provide therapy and other activities such as yoga, meditation and healing circles.Rodriguez said that the community intervention workers help prevent retaliatory violence, reducing the need for officers to engage in the neighborhoods.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced that non-criminal calls would be handled by "trained, unarmed professionals," rather than armed police officers. The union will hold a press conference at 11:30 a.m. to discuss this list and next steps moving forward.that I have read and agree
