It's not only difficult to verify the identity from phone companies or ISPs (worst case you'd need a court order), depending on the nature of the report and the situation, it might also be straight up dangerous for the caller.
Besides, it's pretty damn simple to just a stolen phone or compromised computer to do this sort of thing. If you really were to get the identity this way, you now likely have two victims instead of one...
- babypuncher 2y ago"This phone number was used to make a fraudulent 911 call, here is the recording" should more than enough to secure a warrant. You have a complete recording of the phone call, so you can verify if the person speaking in it was the owner of the phone number. If it's not a match, then you can start investigating friends and family of the owner who would have had access to the phone. If police can't figure out how to do this basic shit then why are we trusting them with SWAT gear?
