But should the police be allowed to disclose to the public about it?

I mean if you have kids and are concerned for your family and her behavior is erratic you may be able to gain that info .

Which is why I said approach the cop kindly

Yes, I think it should be made known to those nearby who feel concerned about their safety. And a way must be found to confiscate weapons from an unstable person. If this person is acting erratically then the police most definitely need to be involved and get her mental illness type referrals.

There already is a way to confiscate firearms from unstable people. Connecticut has red flag laws.

Red flag laws only work against licensed and registered legal gun owners, not illegal guns the state does not know exist.

If they owned them legally in the first place, and there is a record...

If they don't have it on record and they're owned illegally the police won't know if there are firearms anyways unless they search an entire house. It's unlikely a judge will sign a search warrant for a private residence just because someone has a mental health issue. If they do and they're found that's a method to remove them from unstable people, and also a felony if they were illegally obtained.
