Full article is here. The social workers are on the police force, responding as 911 calls come in. Police chief says:
It was close to a $45,000 to $50,000 annual savings from hiring a police officer the first time to hiring a social worker ... They (police social workers) started solving problems for people in our community and for our agency that we’ve never been able to solve before.
Tell your local government about police social workers and link them to this article. Saves money AND saves lives!
