Most probably not. And if you're refugees? You'll have better chance with the BBC.

More seriously, we have serious problems with our police. There should be someone speaking English when you call, but probably not well, and 50% chance is he's very racist. You also need to convince him that it's a true emergency, or they won't do anything.

That's actually quite good, usually police are like 90% very racist.

That is true, but I wouldn't want to bet my life on that! :D
