Does it really fucking matter who is attacking? Just send the fucking cops and stop asking dumb ass questions. Let the police do a situational assessment when they arrive, instead of trying to get some lady scared out of her mind to play 20 questions.

They dispatch the unit at the beginning of the call, the second that they know it's an emergency, by keying in the information. They are then trained to keep on asking questions while the unit is in route in order to give the responding officer more information before they get there. The more information that the officer has by the time he arrives, the better they are able to handle things.
I was a reserve deputy sheriff in Arizona for a year and a half.
