Based on something I have read this evening, I would say they couldn’t really happen as you can’t call 999 again from the same number within two hours - apparently.

Hmmm, I don't know what you read but Quote Prosecuting advocate Peter Connick told the court that Tatlow made six ‘999’ calls between 8am and 8.30am on August 10. https://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/pensioner-made-persistent-nuisance-999-calls-729984 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Serious question - why are the staff in the 999 control centre all required to wear police or ambulance uniforms. Surely mufti with a big name badge would suffice. Did I see that Manx Care spends around a quarter of a million pound according to the Axapta code on staff uniforms.

Because they are police officers and paramedics, and sometime even the fire people are in there. One day they are in there, on others they might be out on patrol or on the trucks. The rest of the ESJCR staff - call takers, dispatchers and supervisors all have their own workwear. Most control rooms do.
