If they are truly motiviated it will not matter who you call even if you can get your phone out. Average response time for police to get to you (no matter where you live) is more than enough time for them to subdue you and hull you butt off.

I can tell you how to train, get on a plane to Mexico, dress like you are important, stand on the street holding lots of cash. Wait for kidnappers, test your ideas out, see how well they do not work
