Ok here's a fun question to ponder:
What exactly would the procedure be if some small town cops found their town under attack by monsters? Not Godzilla-sized creatures mind you, just some nice, blood thirsty dog or bear-sized things that of course are never actually seen by law enforcement until much later, but who's malicious intents are all too apparent.
In the world of the B-movie no doubt the local Barney Fife would just call the nearest National Guard base from a pay phone and have an air strike in 15 minutes, but I'm looking for what would happen in the REAL world if something that strange actually happened? Who would they try to call first?
I've got a couple of story ideas simmering in small sauce pans at the back of the stove which may someday need me to answer that question, but I'm basically asking because years of contaminating my brain with cheap B-movies has made me curious.
