      Give them their own name and phone number. They'll leave you alone whilst they try to get past the engaged tone.

            Look up you local cop shop's web site and find an officer name. Give that out with number, done it before.

              Or instead of being so obtuse, why don't you provide your previous 2 HR/Agent contacts as references? You might actually find yourself forward for a role and who knows you may even get to interview stage.
