That's the thing, the mentally ill people aren't even under arrest, they just get put in a cell because there's no where else to put them. A ever growing role for police officers is dealing with mentally ill people.
Its a bit depressing dealing with a person with mental health problems sometimes. I and my mentor have intervened before and the police have to be there just in case of course. And I've put my arm around the shoulder of someone obviously suffering and in trouble and told them “we'll take you somewhere safe and look after you” always having the thought at the back of mind “I hope its not a police cell!”
