Plea over 999 demand ahead of Bonfire Night

Authorities are urging the public to dial 999 exclusively for serious or life-threatening emergencies ahead of Bonfire Night. Meanwhile, Scottish police are drafting in officers from England and Wales to support operations. This cross-border collaboration represents the largest deployment of police officers since the visit of Donald Trump to Scotland last year, ensuring enhanced security and resource management during the festivities as forces prepare for the anticipated increase in demand across the region.
