A lot of people tend to get excited when new years eve comes around and unless you have young children, then chances are that you will probably be out celebrating.

However, one lady, who is clearly a fan of the police, decided to dial 999 in order to wish the police a ‘happy new year’.

The 999 Call Handler who took the call was no-doubt slightly caught off guard by the bizarre message and simply wished the caller a happy new year as well.

A tweet shared on the @MPSHillingdon twitter page said:

“999, what’s your emergency?”

“This caller wanted to wanted to wish us a ‘Happy New Year” What she has actually done, has taken up a line, preventing someone with a real emergency getting through.

“Whilst some people might see this as a ‘nice’ gesture, the reality is that calls such as this one only clog up the 999 system”.

If someone finds themself in a genuine emergency and in need of the police, they might find that they are unable to get through to a 999 call handler straight away if there’s loads of calls already waiting.

If you really want to wish the police a happy new year, then why not just tweet them instead?

Calling 999 in order to share your best wishes for a new year is 100% not the best way to pass on your message of goodwill.

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 which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services 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 our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

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.
