volunteering to speak on 5150s at NAMI's second annual suicide prevention workshop for caregivers being held August 29th at the University of Phoenix campus in Livermore. Julie Testa shared a story of an intelligent and educated young man whose family, with no prior indication of mental instability, suddenly received a call that their son was agitated, confused and walking naked on a southern California freeway. She said that as someone whose own father lived a tragic life tormented by his own schizophrenia, she has spent most of her adult life advocating for mental health services in this county. She shared her appreciation for the efforts of both Ms. McInnis and the NAMI organization. She stated that traditional police training teaches officers to control situations by demanding compliance, but the unpredictable nature of a disturbed person can often be misinterpreted as a threat and quickly escalate into violence. CIT training teaches verbal de-escalation skills and increases an officer's ability to effectively intervene with minimal physical force. While many of Pleasanton's officers have received one-time CIT training, it pales in comparison to the overwhelming level of regular instruction they receive in assault and tactical response techniques. She thought this disparity was inappropriate particularly given that Pleasanton is a low crime community. PUBLIC HEARINGS AND OTHER MATTERS 15.
