Police Accountability Files – Episode 19: Wellness ChecksGone Wrong
Whensomeone is experiencing a mental health crisis, a wellness check issupposed to protect lives—not put them at risk. But what happenswhen a call for help ends in violence, serious injury, or death?
In Episode19 of Police Accountability Files, hosted by Special Ed, weexamine troubling Canadian cases involving police wellness checks,including the deaths of Chantel Moore and Rodney Levi, and theassault of nursing student Mona Wang by an RCMP officer in Kelowna,British Columbia.
We exploreconcerns raised by the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission forthe RCMP about officers using a “command and control” approachwhen dealing with people in crisis. We also examine policede-escalation, use-of-force policies, accountability, andrecommendations for alternatives that put mental health professionalsat the forefront when police intervention is not necessary.
Whensomeone calls for help, should the first response be about enforcingcompliance—or protecting that person’s well-being?
JoinSpecial Ed for a hard-hitting look at the cases, the oversightfindings, and the difficult questions Canada must confront aboutpolicing and mental health.
