Suicide prevention workers I know are WELL AWARE that US emergency services (police, ambulance) only have one tool available to them -- grabbing and restraining the subject. And they're very much aware of the disadvantages of that. So they avoid calling the cops whenever they can.
To say callers to hotlines are "very likely" to be grabbed is incorrect. Seriously.
