There are towns and cities (my town is one) that are implementing crisis management teams. No ambulance (for threatened suicide), no cops. The crisis team is a trained mental health team of 2 that will go to the person's home (or wherever the person is located) and talk with them. The mental health team is not uniformed, nor do they carry weapons.
I am excited about the implementation of such a program in my town. I would never admit to being suicidal again, never. Not to anyone. I never want anyone wearing a uniform called on me again. A lot of people think they're being helpful by calling 911, but they are not.
