Fewer people in Devon and Cornwall with mental health problems are now being detained in police cells.
There's been increasing concern about the cells having to be used as places of safety - because no alternative was available.
Year on year there's been an 18 per cent reduction in the number of cases - and a steep fall in the number of young being detained under the Mental Health Act by the police - from 30 in 2013 to 14, to just six since January this year.
Police say the improvement's been achieved through hard work by mental health partners
