Desmond called the police, and the officers arrived quickly.

After gathering the details, the police explained that since Jodie had been kidnapped in Jersey City, they had jurisdiction to open an investigation. They would coordinate with both the Cloud City police and law enforcement in Atlantis to track down Joseph Ford.
