Is There a Crisis Intervention Team?

Every big city police department is trying to fill that hole in one way or another. A disproportionate number of folks tend to be women. And ou women officers are often very good at diffusing situations. Sometimes, if you have a policewoman who can say, steve, could you just lower your voice? Youre frightening that child over there? Could you just help me and quiet down a little bit? That is important.
