In most remotely civilized countries it is redirected to whatever the local emergency dispatch center of choice is. In Germany (which I am a bit familiar with) it goes to the local P. D. , and I would expect even the average German keystone cop to speak at least some resemblance of English.
Not sure if "civilized" or "keystone cops" applies to Swissieland, but I would certainly hope so. Maybe our resident Swiss citizen, moderator and emergency services expert will chime in?
(hmm, would I label what some of my local co-workers speak as English or Swinglish?)
