I think we should publish a book for charity!! The Most Unbelievable 999 Calls!! #not999

The Police will unfortunately not be able to grit your roads tonight. You will need to contact the local council for all your gritting needs and #not999.



Think before you call! #Not999 #SaferBradford

Builders waking you up on a morning is not a reason to call 999. Builders can work at this time on a Friday morning. This is not a genuine emergency and this could've prevented someone in a life or death situation from getting through immediately. #Not999



Think before you dial #Not999 #SaferBradford

3 times this caller has rung 999 about this and had the same answer each time. They will now be getting in trouble for misusing the 999 emergency number.

Last night we had a visit from Dale & Chloe from @WYP_Contact who spoke to us about the work they do taking calls and #Not999. Dale is also a @WYP_Specials & showed us his kit. He demonstrated the leg restraints on our Young Leaders!

Another previous 999 call - caller phoned 999 to complain that the pizza company who had just delivered his pizza had put the wrong toppings on & company refused to rectify the mistake. Advised not a police matter & to go back to the pizza company #not999


If someone has been sick in Leeds train station, please don't call 999. A call like this could prevent us from dealing with a genuine life or death emergency. Make the right call. #Not999 @WYP_Contact


Took a call on 999 earlier.. ”My neighbour has egged my car again in the night” If it’s not an ongoing threat to life, risk of harm, or damage to property, it’s not a reason to call 999. Please think before holding up the emergency phone lines. #Not999 #999whatsyouremergency


Thank You Dale for your help tonight! We were very entertained by your tales of #Not999 - some of the 999 calls are ridiculous! We especially liked “There’s a pigeon in my bedroom” 😳

In the latest spotlight on #Not999, West Yorkshire Police has released clips of inappropriate 999 calls. In a series of clips, 999 phone lines were blocked with calls from people trying to get into a casino, retrieve a parcel and asking how to get their electricity back on.


Think before you make the call. #Not999 #SaferBradford

You can't ring 999 and ask us to ring your doctors for you as you're fed up of waiting half an hour to try and get through. #Not999



It is not acceptable to ring 999 and complain about the noise from @NPAS_CarrGate. It has been deployed for a reason. This isn't an emergency and no, we won't tell you why it has been deployed. #Not999


Calling 999 to report your neighbours dog for soiling on your carpet is not a police matter and is not a reason to call 999! #Not999


Hoax calls really could mean the difference between life and death. It’s important that parents and carers educate their children on the impact of calling 999 when they don't need to and to ensure phones are kept out of reach of young children. #NOT999


We are releasing a series of videos to showcase some of the reasons people have inappropriately called our @WYP_CCC and potentially put lives at risk by taking call handlers’ time away from genuine emergency calls. You can find out more at: westyorkshire.police.uk/advice/our-ser… #Not999

Calling 999 because your take away has not been delivered is NOT a Police matter. #ThinkBeforeYouCall #NOT999


Residents of West Yorkshire please think before calling 999 We are busy this evening and calling 999 because the codes to your B&B don't work is not an appropriate use of the service. #Not999


It is NOT appropriate to call 999 saying there is a chicken on the lose just because it seems like fun !!! This stops genuine emergencies getting through which could cost a life #Thinktwice #Not999


Our non emergency number is 101. No need to ring 999 and ask us....🙄 #Not999


I remember I was sat next to the call handler when this came in. 🤔I wonder if they have bought single beds yet? #Not999

#Not999

#NOT999 'I have lost my electric card, can you sort it out for me please' This is not a policing matter and not a life and death emergency call.


“Police emergency” “I’ve been banned from Aldi” “This is not a 999 call but why have you been banned?” “Got caught shoplifting” “Shouldn’t been caught then” *cleared line* Person phoned back & logged a complaint for call handler being snarky after swearing at c/h. 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️🙈 #not999


#NOT999 "I want to report that I lost my phone yesterday"


"Our car was stolen in a burglary and hasn't been found, we need to sort a new car today and can't get hold of the insurance. Can you help us with getting a car?" No we cannot! This is what your insurance is for #NOT999 #ThinkB4UCall


Taking calls for a couple of hours. Police deal with a variety of things however sourcing an emergency plumber for you is not one of them. Advised to turn water off until they can get a plumber in the morning. #Not999 #commonsense


If someone has parked in a manner where you would have to reverse your car to leave your space, this is not an obstruction and definitely not a 999 call. #Not999


Please do not call 999 just because someone is knocking on your door. #Not999
