REVEALED: The most moronic 000 calls made to WA Police
By Jessica Evensen
A woman calling to vent her frustrations about Donald Trump being elected US president, a male asking for help to change his car tyre and even a person requesting assistance to find their lost television remote.
These are among the thousands of moronic and time-wasting triple-0 requests received by WA Police last year.
Of the 44,275 triple-0 calls made to police in 2024, one in 10 were regarded as “non-emergencies” and redirected to a lower priority queue.
These included a woman reporting ducks crossing a busy highway, a man asking for help to change a tyre, a person needing help finding their TV remote and a woman calling to rant about American politics.
