I would just never call them. Not ever. They never improve any situation, ever, in my experience.

If a crime has been committed, they always come too late and don't solve shit.

If there's a tense situation, they only just escalate, and the chance of someone getting killed is WAY higher with cops there than it would be without them.

If you want to prevent crime, they're useless.
