Don't most 911 operators stay with a person in such an emergency, ask if the door is open for access, and if not, or they lost contact with the caller, notify responders, whom after being informed, would act accordingly, and gain/force entry.
Most of the front doors of properties we rented would open with a credit card, let alone a hefty size 12 boot.
