I'm not aware of anyone who admits to being a peace officer who contributes,
though I'm sure some are out there. Assuming that they're near email when
we need them is unwise.
In terms of contacts... how big a rolodex did you have in mind? There are
tens of thousands of police agencies in the US alone. Nobody actually
maintains such a list.
Law enforcement agencies can send each other electronic alerts these days,
and are perfectly happy for you to report something happening in a remote
location to your own local agency and have them forward the report over.
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Responding_to_threats_of_harm
We already encourage anyone who thinks there's a credible threat of violence
or suicide to report it to authorities (either local to the threat, or to
them), and also ANI so that others can take a look an help if justified.

We should have a special unit to deal with these.
Some people call it the FBI. :)
