The spokesperson for the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office shared their strategy to deal with such sensitive situations in a statement, "In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritise de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication".

The statement further read, "Unless there is an immediate threat to others, slowing the situation and utilising crisis intervention techniques can reduce the likelihood of a suicide-by-cop encounter and minimise the risk of injury to the individual, deputies, and the public".

The police and fire rescue authorities acted together to bring Perez Hilton to safety and reports suggest that Crisis Response Unit and mental health doctors were also present to assess the situation and support the members of his family.
