Edmonton Police want you to know when it’s appropriate to call 911. You probably think, EMERGENCIES! Those are the only times to call. But apparently some people in Edmonton have different ideas of what emergencies are.

Take a listen to the clip below, it’s an actual call. The voices are distorted so as to keep both the caller and dispatchers identity’s safe, but listen closely to how ridiculous the reason for the call is.

The police have also received calls to 911 from people who need help moving things, have lost their glasses, and heard a scary noise in the fireplace.

So from now on, if it’s NOT an emergency, the Edmonton Police ask you too call #377 on your mobile. If you have a landline call 780-423-4567.

Let’s try not to be the dude who thinks his expensive car needing a parking stall is an emergency….SMH.
