If you mean in Australia one major change that affected police activity in the early 1990's was the that those with mental illness when the hospitals that treated and accommodated them closed. The government at that time had nothing in place to care for these individuals. Sometimes the sad and tragic results of this decision are still evident today although there has been progress and thankfully some things have changed for the better.

In Melbourne Larudel and Mont Park were two of the hospitals closed.

In the mid to late eighties it appears that police were thrown in at the deep end with no training and required to deal with difficult situations that arose as a result of many with disability living on the streets of our cities with no one to care for them. There is still evidence that this occurs in Melbourne today.

However a carer support group convened in 1990 in the suburbs of Box Hill, Nunawading and Doncaster (as they were known then) invited local community police to their meetings and from this Operation Beacon was set up by police for training purposes.

Both police and ambulance are there to assist in certain situations that arise today and do a great job, but without supported accommodation for those with no carers or accommodation it appears that at times police still need to be involved.
