According to the report, one hundred sworn and non-sworn Alameda Police Department employees have been trained in crisis intervention, and ninety-three Alameda Fire Department employees have been trained in land based water rescue operations.

Oh, come on. New Jet-Skis for the APD & a FEMA grant? Talk about Grandstanding[to play or act so as to impress onlookers]! How are the results of this report not just another way to spend tax money & not particularly on anything that will prevent future suicides? Where is the spending to improve relationships between citizens & the local police?
It would have been nice if Raymond Zack’s death could have meant something more than buying more new toys for public safety.
