The Texas Tribune (11/18, Silver) reports that yesterday, the Vera Institute of Justice issued a report (pdf) called “First Do No Harm: Advancing Public Health in Policing Practices,” which “recommends that law enforcement agencies change their practices regarding mental illness, sex workers and addiction without waiting for legislative action.” The report cites San Antonio, TX as an example of a city that has made “policy changes in the right direction.”
