Similarly, on Android there's an option in your lock screen settings along the lines of "Show lockdown option" that adds a lockdown button to the power/restart menu when holding the power button.

Or you can press the power button for like 10 seconds, that should force a restart and android asks for password/pin/unlock pattern after restart or after 48 hours.

iPhone SE also has that. It'll disable the fingerprint on next unlock if you hold the power button for 5 seconds or mash the power button repeatedly (like 5 times in 2 seconds, therabouts). Pretty handy to know these things not only for police but if you get mugged. Everyone should know how to lock their phone out
