A couple of times. Let's see...

I heard gunshots once near where I was (residential area so it was strange) and wanted to make sure that no one had gotten shot so I called in just to be safe.

I spotted a big fire that had been set right next to a building in the middle of the night (insomnia) and there had been an arson case in a town about 15 miles away like the previous week.

Uh, and my father threw my younger sister and me out of the car in the middle of Tacoma during a visit in around 1AM (we were visiting and had gone to see a movie). Interestingly, this was the one time I felt genuinely in danger (my father is severely mentally ill) and the police did jack shit, telling us we could go back to my father's house or we could stay on the streets.

One other time, I would have called the police, but instead I called the office at the assisted living facility and they called the ambulance. Er, once or twice every week for a few years, I would visit an elderly friend of mine and help him out at his place. But he had died the night before and I was the one who discovered the body. I was a bit too freaked out to think clearly; he was covered in blood, so...

I think that's all the times I did so or got someone else to do so. My little sister had to call the police once because some whackjob tried to get her into his car.
