Small-town 911 calls fascinating, heartening

Only if it was an American black duck. (yes there is such a thing). If it was a mallard they would have just drove him home.

“5:27 p.m. Caller reports group of juveniles sliding down a mound of snow.”

Upon being informed that the juveniles were “dark-skinned”, the SWAT team was deployed in an armoured personnel carrier, and the Department of Homeland Security was brought on site to raise the terror threat level to chartreuse.

Here you go! Each log is a separate PDF, but the Internet Archive grabbed a copy.

(backup of a few other stories in case it doesn’t work)

My very favorite dispatch came from my undergrad school newspaper. As best I recall, it went like this: “Complainant reported bicycle stolen. Patrol investigated, discovered bicycle rack and other attached bicycles also stolen.”
