People are being asked not to call 999 unless it is an emergency.
Police say the emergency line should only be used in cases where there's an ongoing crime or an incident where there is a risk of serious harm to people or property.
However, they've said there's still too many people who ring the number with matters that do not require an emergency response; and that should be calling the non- emergency 101 number.
The PSNI says the following are examples of 999 calls:
- Reporting domestic abuse & the perpetrator is still present
- Reporting an ongoing assault
- Reporting an ongoing burglary
- Reporting ongoing suspicious activity with persons still present
- Reporting finding suspected drugs or related drug paraphernalia
