#6 many police departments provide social work type training to cops already and have been doing so for decades

a few social work departments at universities provide law enforcement orientation - also for decades

in some cases, e.g., domestic disputes the police who respond will have a social worker on the line when they make the visit to the site of the dispute

unfortunately, there is not much the social worker can do if one of the disputants is on a high drug dosage but if the dispute is just yelling, it sometimes helps
