You can't close our call centres in Scotland as local knowledge is a basic requirement in all emergency cases not only for the safety of our officers but the public also

I believe it's imperative to keep both the Inverness and Aberdeen call centres open, and retain local community policing. Centralisation of the police force is Not the answer. Jenny Bird

It is ludicrous to close local call centres and lose invaluable local knowledge. This is especially important in the case of an emergency.

Keep call centres in the community - central belt centralisation will greatly reduce the focus on the north and northeast

Local knowledge is vital. It may cost lives if misunderstanding occurs as a result of cutting local call centres.

Call centres need to in places where people have local knowledge. North East Scotland covers large area and people in central belt do not have this

Save the local call centres before anyone else dies through the lack of knowledge.

Due to recent events where there has been a lack of understanding of incidents I feel that this area needs to have locally based call centre. Where next India?

If we can afford to bomb Syria we can afford to run the call centres.

It is so important that there is local knowledge because when someone is calling 999 for help they are not going always be familiar with a road number but are more likely to be able to describe what is round about them.
