👮‍♀️👮 In the last year, Surrey Police officers have dedicated almost 13,000 hours to people detained under Section 136 (S136) of the Mental Health Act - this is a specific provision to support those in our communities with a mental health disorder and require immediate care or control for the protection of the individual or others. The use of S136 has increased for the last three consecutive years.

🎙️ Commissioner, Lisa Townsend PCC talked with BBC Radio 5 live's Stephen Nolan over the weekend about the increasing pressures on police officers to take on roles of healthcare professionals and social workers to support vulnerable individuals.
