Show Notes
Lieutenant Steven Thomas, a renowned crisis intervention expert, faces disciplinary action for his compassionate approach to mental health calls, which led to his transfer to mall security. Despite his teams global recognition for handling such calls with care, Thomass decision to let officers skip handcuffs on non-violent individuals in crisis contradicted department rules. His team, known for their light blue shirts and special training, earned the worlds best rating from CIT International and a regional platinum award. Thomass advocacy for decriminalizing mental illness and his push for smarter policing that heals rather than just holds, is highlighted by his recent transfer and his run for Maryland House as a Democrat.
