My essay focuses on the lifesaving power of extreme risk protection order laws, which can temporarily disarm someone in crisis who poses a danger to themselves or others. These laws empower individuals to take action when they see warning signs—and they are proven to work.
Last year, our research team traveled to Florida to collect thousands of pages of case files to analyze that state’s new extreme risk law. This February we released a report documenting over 200 instances where the law was successfully used to intervene when someone threatened violence.
