出警 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to dispatch police to respond to a call'. You can separate the two characters to insert aspect markers or measure words, e.g., 出过一次警 ('responded to a call once') or 正在出着警 ('currently on a call'). It is used both for the dispatching from headquarters and for the police officers' act of going to the scene.
