If it’s not an emergency (as in not actively attempting, and I assume this is the case by the language used in panel 1), your best bet to get someone involuntarily committed is by visiting the courthouse, filing a petition, and demonstrating with evidence they are a danger.
If it is an emergency, the yeah you have to call, and yeah they’ll probably send cops with the ambulance, and yeah the cops like doing that sometimes. But maybe you’ll get lucky, most of the time nothing bad happens and so it doesn’t become a national story and a point in your confirmation bias folder, so it’ll probably still be fine. Probably still better to seek option one though…
