PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to take people exhibiting dangerous behaviour while intoxicated or mentally unwell to a place of safety

Wider context from the report

“In the early hours of the morning of his death, Mr Long was removed by police from his home address due to inappropriate behaviour (involving a vulnerable adult) while in drink. Mr Long had long term mental health issues and misused alcohol and was known to behave inappropriately when both of these issues deteriorated. On this occasion he was seen by members of the public to be jumping in front of cars. These behaviour was known to the mental health professional who worked with him. It appeared from the inquest that there was some confusion as to how to appropriately deal with anti-social behaviour when someone was in drink/mentally unwell. If Mr Long had been taken to a place of safety he would not have been able to jump in front of cars/die. In addition, his actions could have caused more accidents and/or led to the death of others. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Unreliable place-of-safety arrangements for intoxicated or mentally unwell people at immediate risk.
