A delayed policy where police will attend fewer 999 mental health calls starts in Norfolk next week.
Campaigners say they were not consulted over a new police policy for responding to mental health calls.
The force added that there was not a formal consultation, but it would be sharing further information with campaigners ahead of the launch.But Mark Harrison, from the Campaign to Save Mental Health Services in Norfolk and Suffolk, said: "To implement Right Care, Right Person now is both unsafe and reckless".
"We are calling for the postponement and scrapping of Right Care, Right Person and the full funding of the mental health system," said Mr Harrison. RCRP was due to begin in Norfolk in February but the plan was postponed following the deaths of four people in Costessey, near Norwich, the previous month.
The Inspectorate was asked by the county's then Police and Crime Commissioner to review the force’s control room and, in particular, look at how 999 calls were handled and responded to following the Costessey tragedy.
