When I lived in Vancouver, VPD has to dedicated vehicles: 1 has a social worker and the other has a psychiatric nurse with ab accompany police officer

I learned about the 2nd unit because my 1st husband was having a psychotic break and took a bunch of pills then slut his arm. The fire trucks arrived first as the were literally across the alley from where we lived.

The dedicated unit arrived at the the ere to talk with me as I was really shaken up by it. I’ve known him a long time before getting married and I had no idea he was dealing with mental health issues.

From what I know he’s doing better. He asked for a divorce which I understood. Sometimes I wondered if he was on the spectrum.
