Well now I want to try this with my Echo, but I'm too afraid it'll actually call the police and I won't know how to stop it haha



If you stay on the line and calmly tell the operator it was an accident or test call, it is absolutely fine.

I used to do telcom work for a machine shop. Part of my job was doing two 911 test calls every week (with and without an extra 9 for an outside line).
