I'm actually more liberal than Mr. Davies on this point.
I'm generally not predisposed to laying criminal charges. In the one assault I refer to where my head left a dent in the wall, the patient was very clearly in the presence of a severe psychosis. The police were called because the incident was ongoing, but I told the police in my statement that I was not predisposed for charges. This man needs a hospital, he is in a hospital and he is getting treated—enough said.
In regard to the police presence, would there be a use—and Ms. Silas, you could also weigh in on this—for the presence of them just for protection, as people who are highly trained and can help to deal with a dangerous situation more than your standard security guard? Would there be a role for that, more from the prevention aspect?
