So really, are you just nitpicking the '24 hours' line? Despite the fact that it's something that many people do believe, and that Danny's never had to call the police about before?If he actually believed in the "must wait 24 hours" thing, there's a decent chance he'd have gone to someone else, first. And if he did, he probably would have been told that instead of "you haven't given us sufficient information for us to actively do anything, call us again in 12 hours if she's still gone". Those twelve hours plus how long he'd been waiting wouldn't add up to 24 hours, either.
Why I think she said to call back in twelve hours... mostly so he didn't call back earlier. After all, he's thinking "call in twelve hours" and thus probably ignores the possibility of calling back earlier. Keeps him out of their hair for a fair bit of time.
