This callout is great. I work with the PD all the time and this is about normal for what they typically do. 

I am beyond entertained doing these callouts. 
I can totally see other scenarios using this same format. I work as Loss Prevention and I think a shoplifter call would be cool. Have LP at a store call PD. You roll onto location with description. Wait for them to exit the building than stop and search them. If they have merchandise you can make an arrest. Make contact with the LP to get a positive ID and have them fill out the no-permission paperwork and return the merchandise. Than take him to jail.
You can mix it up. Sometimes the shoplifter stops and talks. Sometimes he runs. Sometimes he fist fights or has a knife on rare occasions. Sometimes when you're sitting outside waiting he comes running out, maybe chased but even by himself would be a fun little foot pursuit. If he runs he may ditch merchandise or drugs (a lot of my shoplifters are drug addicts) Or if you want it to be realistic and boring the shoplifter is already detained inside the store and you just need to talk to the LP and take the suspect back to booking.
If you want I can give you some other or more detailed experiences I've had to add more variation and I could even go through how stops usually go for this thing since I've done a lot of them. I think you could even have literal repeat offenders since a lot of shoplifters are habitual and do it for drug money or because they like the thrill. You can do a variety of people with different personalities even. Herion addicts, teenagers, ORC crews, bored housewives. Some are docile, some run and fight and others just get verbally combative. 
You could have them take place in one of those clothing stores with interiors. There are also a couple of gas stations/shops and big outlet stores/outdoor malls so have them take place in.
I'd say that Shoplifting is a significant enough part of a police officers job to consider it. They handle that callout a lot, especially in cities or retail-dense areas. Some cities have dedicated divisions for retail crime.
