Police in Durham Region released audio Wednesday of a 911 call made by a Whitby resident who complained about sirens to highlight the inappropriate use of the emergency number.
In the audio, the resident, whose voice was altered for privacy reasons, tells the 911 operator that sirens are going off"like every hour" before asking if everything is okay."I can't tell you what's going on, but, I mean, there's no risk into the area that you're in right now," the 911 operator says."It's busy. Durham Region has expanded so much."
"To me, it just seems like the cops can maybe do a bit of a better job of not disturbing the peace," the resident says.
