The police once escorted me to the hospital. The officer who dealt with me was a lady which made it a lot easier. She did a really good job at keeping me calm by treating me like a person, not a criminal. I was never handcuffed or restrained in any way.

it was solely mental health. my T called the police because i was suicidal and acutely psychotic. im not sure about other areas in regards to what the police procedure is, but yeah, it was horrible. even though my T saved my life by doing that it still affected me the way i was treated. but keep in mind i live in a backcountry small rural southern town. it might be different in other areas
