I'd agree with Ducay, with my dealings of someone with this specific mental illness, if you know AHS and police are involved, they'll be ten steps ahead of what you're trying to accomplish and have already made many decisions on his specific case.
There isn't going to be a call you make that leads to "Oh, the police are aware of the situation, as is AHS, but based on what you've just said, we'll get them the hell out of there for you".

Of course somethings not adding up which is why there's a concern. Fear is often the result of not knowing what is going on and the lack of information available. The quickest way to dismiss any fears is to give residents answers to any questions they have. That doesn't mean private medical info but assurances that will make them feel safe in their own community. And that doesn't mean relocation or locking them up.
