Police Getting Fed up at Non-Urgent 111 calls

Created on May 29, 2015

There has been a significant rise in the number of non-urgent 111 calls, prompting the police to consider whether setting up another call line is necessary. Police have mentioned how frustration is growing at the number of people who call the emergency line with no actual emergency to report. The statistics show it all as last year the police communication call centres received 1.5million calls, of which only 771,000 were emergency 111 calls. But of those calls only a quarter (around 188,000) involved situations where a dispatch was required i.e. a response unit was needed immediately.

The call centre has had a lot of random requests over the years, from people about how to get rid of unwanted rodents, from people asking what the time is and even how to cook a roast dinner. The top 111 calls include:

• I need police here quick because there’s a rat in my kitchen.
• I need to know what time the dairy closes. Do you know their number?
• A bird flew into my window and it’s dead. What do I do with a dead bird?
• It’s Christmas, my family are going to be here in two hours, how do I cook a chicken for them?

Superintendent Dave Trappitt mentions how these unnecessary calls clog up the 111 line, which could cause a significant delay for someone who is actually in a life-threatening situation. He reminds us all that this is a serious issue and the public need to play their part in only using the 111 line for emergencies

Silent Sam Smith

Created on May 4, 2015

Singer, Sam Smith, recently brought his world tour to NZ and his amazing voice has gained him fans all over the world but Sam Smith has announced that he now must remained silent!

That’s right Sam Smith hasn’t “spoken a word in three days”. The 22 year old singer was forced to cancel some of his Australian concerts after suffering a haemorrhage on his vocal cords (where blood vessels within the vocal fold burst).

Sam left a message to his fans on his Instagram account apologising for being forced to cancel his concerts and wrote: “Just to let all my beautiful fans know, I’m ok. I am insanely relaxed and am somewhere in the middle of Australia with no phone, no laptop and I haven’t spoken a word in three days.”

Doctors have told Sam that he must fully rest his vocal cords or the haemorrhage may become a long-term problem for the singer.

Rest up Sam Smith!

Tired

We went out to play and I played with my friends and we heard the bell we came up stairs and the teacher said we had to run around the field two times and I said ohh because I am really unfit that does not matter as long you give it your best. We went out there and ran i ran to the last tree and walked the rest of the way because i was so so tired and at the end my time was 5 minutes and 10 seconds.
