Additionally, it's never a good idea if you are a parent to call the police when your kids are having psychotic "episodes." They rarely make matters better.

Sadly you are correct. Police officers are woefully under trained when it comes to dealing with psychiatric crisis situations. This is an area where everyone would benefit from widespread training in psychiatric "first aid".
