+Fortunately, courts began taking this disproportionate figure into account by providing mentally ill people with additional legal protections.5 In Sheehan v. City and County of San Francisco, 6 the Ninth Circuit held that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to arrest situations involving mentally ill persons.7 The Ninth Circuit’s holding significantly furthers the other circuit courts’ momentum and fundamentally changes how police officers approach the mentally ill.

The amicus brief submitted by the ACLU and leading disability rights organizations highlights the tragic consequences that too often follow when the police fail to make the reasonable accommodations required by the ADA. The brief also explains that standards adopted by many law enforcement agencies across the country demonstrate that both officer safety and public safety are enhanced when appropriate procedures are followed. |
