Thanks for doing this. My sister had someone break into her house and she hid in a basement closet after calling 911. While hiding, the 911 operator worked to calm her, told her to be silent, and talked her through the noises she was hearing. The operator told her the police had the suspect in custody. Then she was advised that the noises she was hearing were police officers going into the basement to find her. The operator told her the name of the officer in the basement and then an officer identified himself with the corresponding name and she came out of hiding.
