Call 911 and request medical, they’ll send firedepartment ems and ambulance depending who’s closest

What if the person has a huge fear-hatred of the police and I want to only contact fire department and ems?

You can mention it to dispatch but anyone with medical training and equipment that’s the closest would go first, and sometimes that can be police. Some areas even have a specific mental health team through crisis intervention officers that would genuinely help the situation (and can help the fear by providing exposure to a positive interaction). Also just in general- their life not ending is more important than their fear
