CHICAGO, UNITED STATES - Avon and Somerset Police in the UK have taken a leap and published hoax 999 calls on YouTube. They claim to receive over 400 a year, blocking their phone lines for real emergencies. This effort of putting the recordings online is an attempt to show people what a complete waste of time hoax calls are.


It is great to see emergency services adopting the internet like this.

You can subscribe to their channel here, or have a listen to this selection of calls:

"There's a squirrel with no hazelnuts"



"To complain about very sore feet, due to no buses."



"An injured pigeon."



Great stuff. What hoax's have your team been tasked to?
