When a police department takes on a job for which it's not qualified, namely a social worker or correctional role, then it's just setting itself up for a lawsuit. If you're a police officer getting some kid out of bed at 3:00am, you're a long way from Kansas, Toto, and someone's going to get sued. This is what the unproven leftist theories they teach at the administration's favorite ivory tower will get you. The city should pull the plug on paying for it.
