Silent 999 calls Silent 999 calls are not automatically transferred<br />
to the Police as they may have been dialled accidentally. However<br />
there is a procedure which the Police request the emergency<br />
operator to follow for silent 999 calls. PLEASE NOTE – we do not<br />
recommend anyone calls 999 silently. DIALING 999. You will be<br />
asked “Emergency which service?” If you do not respond you will be<br />
asked “Do you need Fire, Police or Ambulance?” If you still do not respond the operator will<br />
say: “What number have you dialled please? I cannot release your line until you say that you<br />
do not need an emergency service” <strong>and</strong> then: “If you are unable to speak but need an<br />
emergency service please tap the h<strong>and</strong>set, cough or make a noise” the operator will wait 45<br />
seconds. If the operator does not get a response to any of the above questions the call is put<br />
through to a Police automated message, PRESS 55 when prompted. There is more information<br />

Dogs die in hot cars Never leave a dog unattended in a vehicle even on a mildly warm day.<br />
Dogs can die when left unattended even when a vehicle is in the shade, a window is open <strong>and</strong><br />
there is water available. The British weather can switch suddenly so even on cloudy days<br />
leaving a dog in any vehicle can prove fatal. Every year the Kennel Club hears reports of dogs<br />
being cooked alive after being left in vehicles in hot weather, a situation which can so easily be<br />
avoided. For those travelling with their dogs during the summer months the Kennel Club has<br />
advice on their website www.thekennelclub.org.uk<br />
