- The Long Battle to Keep the NYPD Out of Mental Health Emergencies
Genaro called 911 for his brother Steven, who has schizophrenia, during a mental health crisis, but NYPD officers arrested both brothers instead of providing medical assistance. The family was traumatized as police treated the situation as a criminal incident, focusing on property damage and assault rather than addressing Steven's mental health needs.
