Does the FAA have written policy WRT landouts?

Couple of years ago I landed in a field next to HWY 580 which is a
major hwy. The landout was easily visible form the road, so I figured
sooner or later someone will call 911. So I did exactly as John
suggested, called 911 and explained that there was no emergency, and
indeed no one showed up.
However I also know of a pilot who did not call 911, waited until the
police arrived, and talked them into giving him a ride back...
When I landed in a field, a police cruiser stopped by a minute later.
Turns out, he was just passing by and saw me. On my request, he called
his dispatcher and let them know that there was no plane crash. AND I
got my ride back!
