Police officers are often present in emergency rooms with the guise of security, which makes it easy for them to get private patient information. Some states have mandatory reporting requirements where hospital staff are required to involve the police.

However, this practice can also make hospital workers feel more at ease and effectively hold suspects responsible for their actions.
