False 911 calls are continuing to pull officers away from incidents that require their attention.
In the last 24 hours the Chatham-Kent Police Emergency Communication Centre received 18 false 911 calls.
Overnight, the Chatham-Kent Police Service Communications Centre received seven 911 calls from citizens who had seen a Facebook post asking iPhone users to ask SIRI to call 112.
Dialling 112 actually connects a caller to 911.
112 is the emergency number in many other countries. For this reason, 112 works in North America and connects a caller to 911 emergency.
Chatham-Kent Police remind you not to call 112 or 911 unless it is an emergency.
