it's standard practice
as yet we haven't figured out a better way to deal with these things, than get police to transport people in mental distress.

I've heard stories of extremely distressed children/teenagers being transported in the back of police vans for hours, with psyc staff traveling separately. Don't completely understand why, but that's policy.
