Calgary 911 call centres are angels as far as I'm concerned. Of all the emergency services, every time I've called they walk that perfect line of remaining polite and caring while pushing the pace on getting vital info.
I think I mentioned it on here but when I called about a teenage boy hanging out on a deerfoot overpass that wasn't accessible by walkway and looking upset. I casually asked for a call back from an officer because I was worried. The operator said sure and I figured he wouldn't even think about that with how busy they are and how unimportant my caring of the situation is.
About an hour later a sergeant called, explaining that he wasn't there when they got there and that they had crews and hawcs scouring the area. Then sincerely thanked me for taking the time to call, even sounding a little frustrated that a lot of citizens see stuff like this and just carry on with their day.
