O-405-25 Authorizing the settlement of claims brought in Allen, Administrator v. City of Toledo, et al.; authorizing the expenditure of $300,000 from the Risk Management Fund; and declaring an emergency.
This is not an isolated incident. As an LISW-S I will contact EMS if I identify safety concerns. Such situations have included medical emergencies, drug overdoses, suicide attempts, and psychosis episodes. I have witnessed EMS personally demean, agitate, and dismiss the emergency. I have frequently heard the statement that we do not need to transport if someone else is willing to come. I urge you to look further into the training procedures that are occurring within the EMS department.
