Just remember that while you are calling about something that's not a life threatening emergency you are putting someone with a life threatening emergency on hold and in those cases every second counts.

Don't worry, when it's their life on the line being held up by a prank call I'm sure theyll find it halarious ....

"Hello police, what's your emergency" "KFC run out of chickens" "We can see where you calling from" INSTANT REGRET

There should be zero tolerance for this kind of behaviour, and anyone who makes a prank or pointless 999 call, should be fined. If they had a real emergency, and couldn't get through because somebody made a pointless call, I am sure they would be laughing on the other side of their face

It depends... if they genuinely feel that the police need to know like the lady on the coach and then hang up when told to they shouldn’t, same with little kids but anyone aged 16+ should know better. And in my opinion the fine should go up from £90 to £150 or something like that.

My friend called 911 in uk bc he thought it would do nothing but we found out later that it forwards to 999 🤣 when they answered he was asking the operater to tell us to stop bullying him she said no 🤣😭 pissing myself! He also later that night got text from yorkshire police! His mum was fuming he is currently grounded 🤭

Trust me, when I say: Those are *not* the most pointless calls to the emergency number in a year. Those are just the ones that exemplify the problem the best. People ring 999 to inquire where the nearest police station is, about the number for an "emergency" plumber, how to get an urgent extension on their passport, ordering food or complaining about their food order being late, various animals in perfectly natural situation (e.g. a duck in a pond or a hedgehog in a garden),... I could go on forever and I still wouldn't even scratch the surface of what people call 999 for. But at the same time you can't just start a big campaign to tell people to stop bothering the police or the ambulance service, because there already ARE people who are way TOO reluctant to call us for help. After that campaign they will be even LESS likely to get sorely needed help, because they don't want to bother us. It's a really, really difficult balance to strike and I don't envy our press relations officers whenever they have to do interviews about this stuff, because no matter how you put it - entitled people will continue to call, because surely THEIR problem IS an emergency and reluctant peple won't call, because the emergency services surely have better things to do.

@@Mrjoboo1 They do, yes. There are examples of this online where people in abusive relationships call to order a pizza or something similar and try to hint at the actual problem. I would, however, not encourage to do that if it can be helped at all, because it can be hard for call handlers to pick up on that. Most people would probably think: "But they have to wonder why someone would call 911 on accident, right? They would at least be curious and make sure, right?" - but that's just not the reality. 911 centers get SO. MANY. CALLS that are either mistaken or where the caller called 911 on purpose with a BS complaint that the "Why would they?" question is long gone from dispatchers' minds. So if you use this strategy you have to break through the initial "ugh, a fake caller again" reaction of the handler. (They are, however, trained to never drop a call until they are certain of the callers intent.) It is definitively easier and quicker to plainly give your adress and that you are being mistreated by your partner in 2-3 sentences and then quickly hang up - if you get any chance to be out of hearing distance for a couple of seconds. The "pizza delivery solution" or the "hey rachel, can you pick up the kids today?" method (or any other disguise) is only advisable if you absolutely can not get away for even a few seconds.

"Happy New Year." I don't know about you, but if I ever had to make a 999 call around New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, I would wait until _after_ explaining the situation and providing the required information before saying "Happy New Year".

I dialled 999 about an articulated dump truck being driven on London roads.

I called 999 after an articulated lorry forced me off the road. I also reported that the lorry was veering from side to side, the driver was probably drunk and a real danger to other road users. When I told the operator that the only witnesses were family members in the car with me it was suggested that I report him to his employers. I said this person was a real danger and needed stopping but the operator kept fobbing me off. When I told a friend up country, who worked for the police, he said that’s known as “batting”. Fobbing people off over complaints they consider not worth their time and effort so the tactic is plainly widespread.
