    The police have duty to protect everyone's safety so that includes our safety from ourselves. They're able to track phone through like your IP address that your phone connects to 

    hope youre okay <3

    I think it's just that everyone phone has details on it like an IP address which is just says the network it's from to be able to track the phone down to the area. But not sure And if they know other info like your name that would make quicker to find where live too

    They don't get it address from another source?

    I think it depends on every situation and who contacts the police and what they knew and stuff

    @ellie2000 if the police have valid reason, from some source, to suspect you are in danger yourself or a danger to others they can track you via your phone, yes. For example, if someone calls and believes you are in danger you can be tracked. Same goes for ambulance too really x 
    All depends on the circumstances like @Shaunie mentioned xx

    Hey,

    As everyone else has mentioned, the police have a duty of care and if they receive information about someone who may be at risk then they have he responsibility to make sure that you are safe  <3

    I'm sorry that you don't feel as if you are important, but you are just as important as anyone else and we all care about you here :)

    How are you feeling today  <3
