Reasons vary. Some jurisdictions require a police response. Other times, medical responders might request law enforcement due to potential problems or safety concerns. Police officers typically have some level of medical training, so they might be dispatched to the scene to help render aid until paramedics can respond. In some jurisdictions, officers are cross trained as paramedic/firefighters.
