It means mental health counsellors will be threatened with bodily harm too during crisis calls. Police will be there to use necessary force as they're trained to if need be.

I know, unless there was a recent change, the policy is that when paramedics are called to a scene where they don't feel safe, it is the responsibility of police to clear the scene before paramedics are allowed to enter. A classic example would be when paramedics are called to a rooming house. A wacko armed with a huge knife can leap out of a closet and injure or kill the paramedics. Maybe they will send in the crisis support team and/or Mike Layton in the future instead of the police?
