10. You want social workers not trained in handling violent situations with weapons as first responders

in domestic dispute cases? In this case it was first reported as a stolen car.

What is the model?

Three person teams where the Social Worker can be set up in what is effectively a rolling office and only deployed in a crisis situation (otherwise sitting in the back seat of the squad car). The Social Worker has a separate reporting structure so, in effect, an independent witness to the actions of the cops. At the door with the cops for a domestic disturbance call, but not part of the actual police team. I can see the cops saying, "Sure, you can deal with the 250# autistic man with a kitchen knife." Once the social gets stabbed, then shoot the man.
