Depending on what the call is for, some towns have protocols that require an ambulance be dispatched automatically to the scene as well as the police. This is often due to the probability of people needing transportation to the hospital or just medical attention.

Not sure what you mean? If you mean car chases and such, it's because there is usually injuries and ems should be close by. I work ems and we usually have police w/us on most calls. You might want to elaborate on your question and we could get you better answers.
