it's audibly silent -- on post-iPhoneX models, clicking power 5 times will emit a siren tone and then autodial 911 in addition to locking out biometrics.

power + volumeup displays on the screen but does not emit a noise.

I think the police shortcut got nerfed with 12.2, but I'm not sure.

Clicking the power 5 times also gives me a heart attack when I do it accidentally when I'm trying to turn up my podcast.

Good clarification, thanks.

I can't find any immediate results on the Police shortcut no longer working—almost every reference is from Q3 2018.
