Pretty much what I was told to do.  Call 911, state clearly that this is NOT 
an emergency, and ask them if they have a moment to verify the address 
information for this phone number.

Where I live the police seem to be required to make a stop at the place to 
make sure the caller is not being coerced, but other than that the operators 
have always been very helpful.
