    It really depends on what the call in was.

    If someone says there’s an active threat and their life is in danger, sending 1 car would would be gross negligence and a danger to the officers.

    Now, this call, seems excessive. I dont know what would warrant that response even if it was an active threat.

      Yeah, you send one car first and have the other ready. It’s insane to send 20 cars instantly for an unverified anonymous tip. Idc if the caller said there’s an army of cannibals killing dozens of people, it’s still an unverified anonymous tip. If it’s real you’ll get more phone calls or the first car will radio it in.
