ACTIONS REQUIRED:
[blank] state [blank 2 lines]. Cst Fisher has sent Sgt Carroll a request for a patrol officer to attend the BERLADYN residence to speak with Daniel BERLADYN tonight to check his wellbeing and his mental health status.

On November 17th, 2015 at approximately 1930 hours. Sgt MORRISON and Cst LONG attended the BERLADYN residence and spoke with Daniel. Daniel was very careful not to allow members to see inside his suite and spoke with the officers in the garage even wit the low temperature and wearing only a t-shirt and shorts. Both officers noted that insulation could be seen on the walls inside, but appeared otherwise to be quite tidy.

Daniel was asked about emails he had sent to V/S and that the officers were there to check to make sure all was ok with him. The officers had an approximately 30 minute conversation with Daniel. He presented as somewhat manic, with his thoughts and conversation appearing rapid and diverse.

It was able to be determined that, during this conversation at least, Daniel was somewhat fixed on his family history and believes himself to have been deprived of love and understanding by the rest of his family. He appears to believe tha the needs to live with his mother because moving out would mean that they (his family) "would win", and that he needed to "beat them". Further questioning confirmed that he was referring to showing them that they had been wrong to treat him the way they have, so "beat them" was used metaphorically rather than as a threat of physical harm.

Daniel when asked was quite clear that he had no desire to hur himself or anyone else.

He described himself as being possibly manic depressive but was quick to say he has not been diagnosed with anything. Sgt MORRISON asked if he had considered seeing a doctor or psychologist to help him determine if that might be the case. Daniel stated that he "couldn't possibly make an appointment" because he "just puts one foot in front of the other".

Sgt MORRISON spoke to Daniel about the Department's concerns over the increasingly frequent, nonsensical and voluminous content in his emails to V/S. He immediately stated that he had been told "email me anytime" and believes that he is doing just that. When asked about the increasingly nonsensical nature of his emails he stated that he just has to "get it all out or it will hurt me". Daniel stated that by "hurting him" he was referring to the fact that if he keeps these revelations inside he believes that he will just become more manic.

Daniel did say that he was concerned over how the Department perceives him. Throughout this conversation, the manic nature of his speech notwithstanding, Daniel presented as calm, articulate and well kept. It is Sgt MORRISON's observation that Daniel appears to be struggling wiht an increasingly overwhelming mental health issue for which is does not appear he will seek help.

Daniel was asked to keep his conact with V/S contained to requests for assistance and resource facilitation rather than an outlet for expressing his thought processes.

There was no evidence of expressed thought that would support a Sec 28 MHA apprehension of Daniel at this time.

Upon leaving the residence, Cst LONG called [blank] to advise [blank] of the result of the visit, [bank x1 line]
