I think it does, have you seen the "Last Week Tonight" episode on mental illness and gun violence:

It's very good.


I don't watch the show, but that was interesting. The assertive community treatment program actually pays for itself by producing productive members of society. Hearing the bit about jails essentially being the de facto place for mental health treatment, as opposed to state funded mental health facilities is pretty ****ed.

Also, the psychiatrist saying "cray cray" at the beginning makes that entire video worth it.

They may deescalate things in general. Cops would be more likely to consider how they apply force and how they interact with the public, and at least to some extent those involved in the officers would be more cognizant of the situation. The upside is mostly in policing the police, making sure that they follow procedure and remember protect & serve above all else.
