So many people nowadays don’t have their loved ones’ numbers memorized. One of the biggest challenges of psychiatric holds (outside of the traumatic removal) is that many people can’t call their loved ones because they’re not allowed access to their smartphone. The same goes for jail — of course most people never think it’ll happen, but if you get in that situation, they’re almost never going to let you check your phone for important phone numbers. They’re a little more likely to allow it if it’s in your wallet.
