VW is almost certainly outsourcing this to SiriusXM, and SirusXM has a fuzzy marketing oriented first responder page too: https://www.siriusxmcvs.com/safety-security/acn-plus/

And they train and provide the same resources as OnStar: https://publicsafety.siriusxmcvs.com/acnplus-training

And they have a number specifically for LEOs... just like OnStar: https://publicsafety.siriusxmcvs.com/vehiclelocationpolicy#S....

But the reality is, this was an exceptional case with a system that's probably weighted towards the opposite: people falsely trying to get location info.

Honestly while Sirus/VW screwed up here, I'm surprised with an entire child missing no one would have managed to dig up the LEO hotline...
