Your voice, your demeanor, your calm-and-strength-in-the-crisis. all of these help the family member or trusted adult who's contacting you in what is undoubtedly one of the worst imaginable situations.
Every moment matters -- and how these you interact with the caller is absolutely essential in what information is gathered, how that information is entered into vital law enforcement and emergency response records systems, and how well patrol and investigations are readied when they arrive on-scene.
