Summary: Chief James J. Gerace, Dr. Michael W. Dailey, and Dr. Warren Hayashi’s new Police Chief article, “Leading at the Intersection of Crisis and Care,” discusses practical considerations for police leaders responding to acute behavioral emergencies and restraint-related risk. The article encourages agencies to move beyond outdated terminology, strengthen coordination with EMS, fire, and medical directors, and refine policies around prone restraint, transport, and medical monitoring. It also references work by GTD Scientific on the physiology and biomechanics of prone restraint respiration, reinforcing the value of grounding operational practices in current science while keeping the focus on practical, field-relevant decision-making.
