Elk Grove police didn't call mental health team before restraint death

Original: Elk Grove Police did not call mental health team for man who died after restraint

Elk Grove police officers did not summon the city's mental health crisis team when responding to a call involving a man who later died after being restrained, according to the Sacramento Bee. The report raises questions about whether a different response could have prevented the death and is drawing scrutiny of the department's handling of mental health-related encounters.

Why now: Concerns over police responses to mental health crises have intensified following another death after restraint involving officers.
