Do not escalate - call 911. It looks like half of that was done. But I agree with others that the police should have been called immediately after getting to safety.

Law enforcement officers who are not active duty military are likewise civilians.

Police and firefighters are no longer considered civilians, at least not according to most dictionaries. They are included with active duty military as not being a civilian in the formal definition of the word. But growing up around the military, I still tend to think they are.
