A new scheme aims to free up officers' time and ensure help is given by mental health professionals.
The Met Police is to reduce the number of mental health calls officers attend in London as part of an initiative with the NHS.Officers will not attend cases where help from a medical professional would be more appropriate, the Met said.The model, initially rolled out by Humberside Police, had "proven hugely successful in reducing demand across all services, with the force seeing 7% of officer time freed up," the Met said.
They will also no longer look for people who have walked out of mental health facilities or hospitals unless there is a reason for police to be involved. Martin Machray, executive director of performance at NHS London, said: "While police will start attending fewer mental health callouts, they will still attend if a welfare check is needed or if an at-risk person has absconded from hospital.
