Albuquerque to send unarmed social workers, not police officers, to some 911 calls

Hours before Albuquerque police detained alleged members of an armed civilian group when a protest erupted in gunfire Monday, the mayor of New Mexico's largest city announced that unarmed social workers – not officers – would now respond to certain 911 calls.
The decision came as Black Lives Matter advocates to defund police departments in the wake of the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in police custody after Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes on May 25.
Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller announced that the city would create a “first-of-its-kind” cabinet-level department that would respond to calls on inebriation, homelessness, addiction and mental health

It’s going to be sad when the first social worker is murdered.

doesn't seem terrible on the surface
I imagine eventually an incident will occur and they will carry some type of protection though

It'll certainly be an interesting experiment. I wouldn't want my city to be the first to try it, but let's roll the dice.

This will fail miserably. Hope it works but it will fail.

Good luck.
The city is about to get some poor social worker murdered.

Going to be a high turnover rate when the average social worker graduate gets thrust into bad neighborhoods at 2am on the regular.

so you're going send an unarmed social worker to deal with a meth head or deranged person?

Can’t wait to see Live SW on A&E.

Nah, just means you get a head start when you gun down an unarmed social worker that pulls you over

Will be interesting to monitor going forward, but at first glance it seems like a decent idea.

Holy shite, are they seriously expecting a social worker, typically a woman, to go into a homeless area in the middle of the night?
Or deal with someone flipping out needing a fix?
What happens when she gets beat, raped or killed?
This is going to end badly
