I have the utmost respect for these wonderful people at comms. They would have to be the most level headed people around. Without these wonderful people, my Dad probably wouldn’t be alive today. Before you ever consider abusing them, think that they are the lifeline between you, the pt, and saving a life.

This is utter bullshit. I have called 111 and always spoken to a New Zealander.

Rest in Peace Derek.
New Zealand has lost one great cop; we thank you for your commitment to your community and section. Justice will be served and your passing not in vein. A model cop and a typical kiwi family man. I hope that in my career I can be half as good a cop and family man as you were Derek
Rest now my fallen hero after a job well done

Some people are …
Some people are just ungrateful. I can understand that when they call the number they’re in distress but it doesn’t have to be in such abusive way. On the other hand, I wonder if the Police have acted upon the 64 recommendations made by the independent panel for the coms centre.

hahahaha. I know …
hahahaha. I know the feeling. I cant wait for the day we can make our own complaints so we dont have to speak to the operators either.
I mean what qualifactions do you need to type in a complaint yourself, instead of wasting proper emergancy services time with not quite 111 calls or complaints.

They called the wrong number. I am an Informant, and have called 111 heaps of times, and saved lives before.
I have never once encountered a problem.

yea 2005-this happened around november 2006 so if they made changes in 05 why in late o6 its still a pain. & the indian? not being racist but fluent & understandable english should be compulsory. 4 times she said she couldnt believe us because we ‘diddnt sound as if we were distressed’ (how can u difine distress when each individual is different?) & she diddnt even no where WHANGAREI was after telling her calmley 3 times. So if thers any explanation for that please, explain..

ok… so.. WHY THE DID SOME OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY GET ING PUNJABI IMMAGRANTS ON THE OTHER END, WITH NO KNOWLEDGE OF NEWZEALAND GEOGRAPHY AND KEPT CLAIMING THAT ‘IM SORRY I BELEIVE THIS IS A FAKE CALL’ - when they tried to get help using the 111 service when they wer praticaly terrorised in their own home by some mad smashing their door and trying to break in? To be fair, thers alot of good staff out there, but MAN it needs a good review by the government (oh wait ther to dumb)
