In your US city/metropolis, do Police default call back from UNKNOWN?

Question

Genuinely curious about this subject, if known, so I set up a key that might help tally quickly just for a bit of data. My hope is this group might actually notice vs. xyz non-tech folks?Do Not Know - ddddNo - nnnnYes - yyyy(if okay with you) State - sXXThis observation is via the Southlake, TX police department, non-emergency contact number. According to my impression, policy does not allow officers to make appointments to take phone calls, by default they call back from UNKNOWN, and by request - must be each time - they will agree to call from an actual department number. Phew. Pretty nerdy but it's a system so...Many thanks in advance!

I grew up and graduated school from Southlake. One of the few from start to finish before the city was littered with castles.I cannot remember for certain but I do believe the FW police use BLOCKED.

In my experience in municipal IT, working on shared computers at police stations, most beat cops not only don&rsquo;t have their own computers, but also don&rsquo;t have their own phones, and have to make calls from shared phones in computer rooms that aren&rsquo;t occupied most of the time, so those numbers wouldn&rsquo;t be suitable to call back on. The public can always call a main non-emergency number to leave a message for an officer if they have to.

I've lived in 3 cities, Seoul South Korea, Toronto Canada and NYC USA. In all 3, callbacks from the police come from UNKNOWN/BLOCKED.

Seems like there should be a general way to crowdsource this kind of data.
