TORONTO — A humorous 911 call has a Toronto-area police service reminding people only to call that number in emergency situations – and not when upset with sandwich toppings.
Peel Regional Police released audio of the call Saturday. It’s not clear when it was initially placed.
In the call, a man can be heard requesting police assistance because he claimed to have been “threatened by an owner … regarding my food.”

DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) – The Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office is looking to fill five fulltime 911 dispatch positions.
They say they need to accommodate the growth of the county.
The first person many Broome County residents talk to in an emergency situation could be less tired in the future under plans to return 911 dispatchers to a standard eight-hour day.
Emergency Services officials have been working 12-hour shifts since 1999 when a lack of staffing forced additional hours on dispatchers.
Savings in the county budget over the past few years could return those workers to 8-hour days with the hiring of more staff. It’s still up in the air what impact that move would have on days off or what dispatchers are being paid.
