They were actually at my house. Apparently a young woman had cut her wrists and threatened to do further harm to herself and they were tracking her cell which led them to my street from the pinging of her cell. Unfortunately the helicopter thought I was her when they saw me on my cell in my backyard. The helicopter hovered over my yard and had relayed my address to the ground police. A close friend who is an officer came and told me to stay inside because the helicopter thought I was the girl. That's when I looked outside and saw my street was full of police cars and officers walking back to they're cars after they were told that I wasn't who they were looking for. Ironically the same time I was on my cell out back wondering what was happening, this girls cell pinged on my street leaving the helicopter to think i was her. Within minutes of leaving my home, they were able to find the young woman just down the street. I was told that she is doing ok. Needless to say, I felt horrible that they had wasted time hovering over my home and filling my street up with police cars and officers, taking time away from locating her sooner. Next time I see a helicopter flying low over my neighborhood, I'm staying inside.
