Los Angeles has such a service, including a decent mobile app. It's worked well enough for me for non-emergencies, like reporting unsafe road conditions or discarded furniture in alleyways. Don't know if they have special features for emergency situations.

I guess I'm thinking about some middle ground, where if someone decides to stay in their home it is useful to them to notify the police that a certain number of people plan to shelter in place at a certain location. Emergency situations probably wouldn't benefit any from an app doing the triage vs 911 operators. Maybe the operators would benefit if the app was able to initiate certain types of relatively urgent reports. ("My house is beginning to flood and I'm concerned about my safety" is a very different situation than "Someone was just involved in a vehicle collision and requires an ambulance")
