Local police centres are vital to local policing. Take away the local police centre and you lose one of the bases of a local community. Don't let Holyrood cuts destroy our community!

You need to keep Aberdeen as how would anyone not familiar with names for example Findochty and Aberchirder know of their pronounciation which is different to their spelling .Local knowledge is vital for a quick response.

We need to keep these call centres - local knowledge can help save lives in times of emergency. Centralisation to this extent is foolish.

Please keep our local call centres open. The people who man them know the local area and therefore can process the information effectively to the appropriate emergency services, therefore saving time and ultimately lives.

Lunacy considering closing local call centres in Aberdeen and Inverness. Totally different to central belt.One of main problems so many places/areas with same name. Only local knowledge could know this.

Ridiculous - Aberdeen, Inverness and the Northern Isles being controlled from the Central Belt who have little or no knowledge of the road systems in these areas.
