Police and Mental Health: Evolving Roles in Crisis Intervention

In March 2020, Daniel Prude, a Black man experiencing a mental health crisis, encountered police in Rochester, New York. His family had called 911 for help, seeking assistance for his mental health condition. The situation escalated, and Prude died after police restrained him using a controversial method. This incident sparked widespread protests, highlighting issues with police intervention in mental health crises and the need for systemic reform.

This article provides further background and context with respect to the case.
