False 911 calls are tying up police officers
Police are issuing another appeal to the public to only call 911 in the case of an emergency.
Officers say the local Police Emergency Communication Centre received 43 false 911 calls in a 24-hour period from Friday morning to Saturday morning.
Police say those false calls continue to pull officers away from incidents that require their attention and they're urging you to only call 911 in the case of a life threatening emergency or if you would like to report a crime in progress.
Any and all other non-emergency incidents should be directed to the police dispatch center at 519-352-1234.
