It's not just outside our doors that we're responding to emergencies... sometimes we have to call for help too! Thank you Avon Fire & Rescue Service for rescuing our Control Room colleague who was stuck in a lift 🧑‍🚒 #NotJustFire #SquadGhouls

This year we have to date received 59,598 abandoned calls and we are only in October! ☹️ That's an average of 5,959 a month #ASPLive

999: Attempted forced entry into a house with residents inside. Officers attended promptly and are on scene. #ASPLive

999: Caller is ringing to report a shoplifter that he believes to be wanted #ASPLive

999: Caller wants police to attend and remove someone from their address..."they aren't here at the moment though".... #ASPLive

We've had another handover, this time from Force Incident Manager (FIM), Inspector Matthew. FIM's plan, manage and monitor operational policing activity and will effectively and efficiently direct the deployment of resources to incidents, including critical incidents.

999: Misdial. Caller apologised for pocket dialling. He says when his leg shakes a lot, he dials 999. At least by staying on the line, the call handler was able to assess quickly that he didnt need our help #ASPLive

999: Caller reporting that a female in the flat above sounds like she may be in distress. Officers en route #ASPLive

Correct for the majority of you! Stay on the line, tell us you’re fine, saving call handlers valuable time!
