John Higdon notes "There is no Caller-ID available in California."

I know that 911 calls read out the address of the calling location, is
this a different service?

This feature is a pain in the neck sometimes.  You report a domestic
violence case, and the cops beat on *your* door first, and then wonder
over to the disturbance, making it clear who called them.  After one
dose of this, I will wait till the blood is runing out the door before
I call them directly again.  I had a friend across town call in the
last one, but it certainly delayed things to have to do it that way.
