These people (and yes, they are people just like you and me) are often fine for months/years at a time and can have the occasional outburst if something triggers it. They should be locked up forever on the offchance something happens?
Again, there are already a plethora of people involved in this person's life (CPS, Counsellors, therapists, MDs, etc, etc). They have assessed the situation I would bet, thousands of times, and deemed them safe and appropriate to be at home in his family's care. You have roughly 0.000004% insight into the situation.

Paranoid schizophrenics having a relapse is not a good thing. If he kills someone are you going to say "Oh well, he had a relapse?" His medication and the continued relapses need to be addressed by the medical community.
You also make the assumption his illness has been addressed and he was deemed safe. How do we know he's taking his meds everyday? Should we trust the word of the caregiver? Based on repeated police calls I'd say no.
He shouldn't be having relapses and the public has a right to be concerned.
