I'd suggest linking the to second one for your dictionary examples.

Thanks. A bit more literal. (From what I know of the Japanese police they probably did make him/her.)

The sentences wouldn't necessarily refer to the Japanese police, though.

Of course, させる sometimes is translated as "make" or "force."
