Will the police call after texting the police? Do I have to go through the formalities myself?

According to the current policy, the police usually give priority to contacting the police by telephone when dealing with emergencies after SMS alarm. Because telephone communication can get the detailed information of the alarm person more directly and quickly, and can communicate and guide immediately. If the emergency is handled effectively, the alarm person may not go through the relevant formalities in person.

However, whether the specific procedures require the police to be present in person may also be affected by the differences in local policies. In some cases, the police may need to go to the police station in person to provide evidence, verify or sign relevant documents. I suggest that you consult the police about the specific process and whether you need to be present in person when calling the police, so as to accurately understand the relevant requirements.
