If You Call 999 To Complain About A Police Helicopter, Then YOU Are A BUFFOON

If You Call 999 To Complain About A Police Helicopter, Then YOU Are A BUFFOON

When you read this heading, then you might think ‘no way; NO-ONE would be silly enough to even consider calling 999 in order to complain about a police chopper flying near their house’.

But the problem, is a real one…

People really are calling 999 to whinge and moan about the police daring to use the police helicopter in order to look for serious criminals or to perhaps help officers on the ground to search for high-risk missing people.

Thankfully, most people, even if they are woken up in the dead of night, will understand that criminals do not work 9-5.

In fact, most people with a decent amount of common sense probably understand that most criminals ‘go to work’ at night and thus police resources tend to also be their busiest during the night as well!

But there seems to be a hardcore of numpties out there who, for whatever reason, perhaps seem to think that the police should maybe only operate their choppers during the day, whilst they are at work!

In case you think that we are making this issue up, then check out a tweet that was published by the West Yorkshire Police Control Room:

Even when the police try to explain what they are doing and why, you still end up hearing from individuals who believe that people have a genuine right to complain about the police fighting crime?

Yes, it is frustrating to be woken up when the police are using their choppers to look for suspects, but, guess what? That’s what the police are here to do!

I am 100% sure that if someone broke into your house and the suspects were known to be in the area, then the same people who complain would DEMAND that not only their local police chopper is sent up, but ALL of the National Police Air Service choppers are scrambled and are vectored onto their location!

It seems to be just another prime example of people not having enough common sense needed in order to get to grips with reality!

Thankfully, however, there are more people out there who understand why police helicopters need to fly at night rather than moaning and/or whinging about it.

Besides, maybe being woken up by the police helicopter and then looking out of your window to see what is going on MIGHT end up helping the police as you could end up spotting the individual(s) who the police are looking for.

The Police chopper can then return to base and then you can then get back into your warm comfy beds whilst the police continue to do the job that everyone wants them to do.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories & videos which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services & NHS by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' back in 2018 was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services & NHS which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of you, our readers.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
