It would actually make a fair amount of sense to have some non-leo types that could take citizen’s reports and such. It’s not like an armed response is necessary to report a burglary and such things

a decade or so ago disturbance calls were the most dangerous for cops. Don’t know if that is still the case. Family arguments husband and wife etc.

"Who the hell in the right mind would accept a job like this? Responding unarmed to 911 calls in Seattle? Good grief."

Think of it as a public service to drain the shallow end of the gene pool. Never stop your enemies when they are doing your job for you.

Ahhh….. the old “Social Workers And Therapists” team. Wasn’t this “Neo-SWAT” idea put out by Portland and LA recently?

Not an original idea, as I pointed out in post 25.
