    If I was a corrupt cop I'd put the counselor in a Serpico situation, basically not protect them from an obvious threat. Cops could coerce cooperation from counselors like they do with leaders by threatening to not do their job.

      Yeah, maybe I'm too cynical but I think 'embedding' will do for counsellors what it did for journalists with the troops. And anyone who doesn't toe the line will be pressured out or find themselves a 'casualty'.

      Not to undermine the great work or competency of lots of social workers or counsellors, but this plan basically feels like sending along a HR mediator with the cartel.

        On the other hand, the worst atrocities were perpetrated by units with no embedded reporter or third party observer.
