French Hostage Siege

In the coverage, one thing caught my attention:
Another employee, Lilian Lepere, 27, stayed undetected on the second floor of the warehouse throughout the siege, sending text messages to the forces surrounding the building.
That's a great idea. But other than sending a text to a friend, having them call the police and then the cops contact you, how would you send a text to the cops? Do they have a text-variant of 911?

I seems likely he was texting his father's phone. It seems his father was the hostage who escaped about 4 hours into the seige, at which point Lilian texted the police data for about 3 more hours. It clearly says he texted his father...and other stories identify his father as the escapee.

No that note, text to 911 is on the way. Deadline is June 15, 2015. (http://www.fcc.gov/text-to-911)
