I saw a patient with a dislocated shoulder yesterday. This video is a good refresher on how to reduce a dislocated shoulder.

can a non medical background person perform this in an event of an emergency?

In an emergency you can. But you should then still be checked in hospital. The arm should be in a sling for a few days after that.
The main thing is that some nerves can be damaged. leading to some numbness at the shoulder.
