I'm Elise Hugh. You're listening to TED Talks Daily. We've heard a lot over the past year about how to better care for our communities by reforming policing. In her TEDx Mile High talk from 2020, community leader Leslie Herod shares an idea that points to change. It can lower incidents of police brutality

and lead to healthier outcomes for not just citizens, but first responders to.

Call me weird, but I love a good ride-along, like love them. I've been on ride-alongs across the world

in Amsterdam, in Canada, in Boston,

and even right here in Denver. And what I've learned is that people call the cops for a number of

reasons. Anything from a lost cat to a neighbor they just want to know more about to maybe a loved one

or a stranger having a mental health crisis.

But really, at the heart of it, people call 911 because they just don't know what else to do.

What I've learned, though, is that sometimes when you call 911, it can make a bad situation even worse.

Maybe a loved one is arrested

or they're placed on a 72-hour hold.

There are fines and fees and criminal charges.

And sometimes calling 911 can be the beginning

of the end of someone's life.

Now, you might think I'm here

to talk about abolishing the police.
