Why does this health problem require police attendance?

[chrishacken]

Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned that particular incident; the rest of my points still warrant a higher police presence.

Police are sometimes different from Campus security.

Who else is the front line for mental health problems? A medical doctor or psychiatrist isn't going to be on standby rushing waiting for a student to become sucicidal.

Campus faculty aren't likely to be trained on this stuff.

It actually is and is what they are for. Psychiatrists do clinics etc but occasionally end up absent if a call comes through. It's a bit easier if a big hospital for a big city is near the uni however.
