Alberta RCMP have released this photo of the weapons seized at the Coutts border blockade. RCMP say 13 people have now been arrested. #YYC@GlobalCalgary
This is a good time to mention that next week is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week. It’s been humbling to see how much effort and skill goes into running a modern 911 system. These people do amazing and vital work. 👍🏻👍🏻 #NPSTW2019#YYC#YYC911
I’m now on the call-taking side of Calgary 911. First call of the night is someone who is just yelling & swearing at the call-taker. These people put up with a lot of abuse while trying to help people. #YYC#YYC911
The average Emergency Call Officer handles about 4500 calls a year. This includes collisions, domestics, medical emergencies, break and enters and assaults. #YYC#YYC911
Some of the Emergency Call Operators here are telling me that they handled over 10,000 calls last year. People only take calls & don’t dispatch will take more calls than the average. That’s a lot of calls! #YYC#YYC911
When you call 911 or the police you are asked to give the address of the emergency & then you are asked to repeat it to confirm. This may seem silly, but it has proved important. Sometimes people give their old address out of habit then remember the new one on the 2nd try. #YYC
Have a question for Calgary 911? If you have a question let me know & I’ll ask them tomorrow!
What happens when you dial 911?Why do they ask so many questions?What’s the best way to give your location?
What if it’s not safe for you to talk?
Am I missing anything?

.@snowybeard and I met at Barlow Max Bell Station with @RayJones and Leslie from Ward 10 office and Calgary Transit folks, Doug, Nikhil and Jenn to discuss solutions to the unsafe feeling many @CrossroadsComm residents have using this station. Stay tuned!
So I tweeted that my 4yr old daughter wished she was a boy so she could be a fireman and this is the response from West Midlands Fire Service. You lot are amazing! Thank you so much - I can't wait to pass on the message. She'll love it #girlscandoanything#firefightingsexism
@Gillette If every mass shooting involved a female with a gun, damn right I would welcome an ad geared toward women.
If girls & women start raping & murdering - would immediately want a public education program.
Sure as hell wouldn't be a triggered snowflake about somebody trying to help
@Gillette Positive message for men, bizarrely offends lots of men.
Can't imagine why anyone thought this was needed ... every other comment is evidence supporting the need for the educational spot.
Thanks Gillette.
Seriously, thank you for thinking of my sons.
@Gillette Gillette: don't be one of the shit men, be one of the better men
Shit men replying here: how fucking dare you attack me! Not buying Gillette anymore!
#TheBestMenCanBe Strong and supporting. Honest and eloquent. Savage and compassionate. Driven and civic. Educated and inquisitive. Bold and respectful. The best men can be, better.
I am listening to our community, and are currently discussing with the department. In the meantime, residents who use this station, please use 311 to address any concerns so that we can track the feedback. @CrossroadsComm@LarryLeachYYC@Snowybeard https://t.co/pCbRkhuDJU
Story from last night. Have you used this bus stop/CTrain station? Do you feel safe there at night? #yyc
‘No one wants to come here:’ community group raises safety concerns over Max Bell CTrain stop https://t.co/frDO0poCeI
