巴尔的摩市议会11月9日表决设立「邻里安全部」 心理健康求助拟派临床人员
2026年11月9日，美国马里兰州巴尔的摩市市议会将在市政厅表决一项法案，设立新的「邻里安全部」，培训911调度员在接到心理健康紧急求助和其他非暴力紧急情况时，派遣临床工作人员而非警察到场。
议会主席 Zeke Cohen 是这项法案的主要推动者，他表示，把心理健康看得与身体健康同样重要，这件事关乎生死；新部门的设立也能让负担过重的警员腾出手来处理暴力犯罪等警务工作。根据法案内容，「邻里安全部」将成为巴尔的摩市公共安全体系的第三个分支，专门负责非暴力紧急情况的响应。如果市议会11月9日通过这项法案，法案将送交市长签署生效。
支持者认为，这一改革有助于减少不必要的警民冲突，让最合适的人员回应每一通求助电话，也能让警员专注于暴力犯罪等警务工作。
Baltimore City Council to Vote Nov. 9 on 'Department of Neighborhood Safety' Sending Clinicians to Mental-Health Calls
BALTIMORE, Md. — The Baltimore City Council is set to vote on November 9, 2026, on a bill to create a new Department of Neighborhood Safety that would train 911 dispatchers to send clinical workers, rather than police, to mental-health and other nonviolent emergency calls.
Council President Zeke Cohen, the bill's lead sponsor, said treating mental health as seriously as physical health is a matter of life and death, and that the new department would free overstretched officers to focus on violent crime. Under the bill, the department would become the third branch of Baltimore's public safety system, dedicated to nonviolent emergency response. If the council passes the bill on November 9, it will go to the mayor for signature.
Supporters say the reform would reduce unnecessary police-civilian confrontations, match each call with the most appropriate responders, and let officers concentrate on violent crime and other police work.
