Of the almost 40,000 calls to triple-0 received by ACT police in 2024, 36 per cent were related to non-emergency situations.

Police say that included a call from a teenager whose parents had switched off the Wi-fi and a man who wanted police to arrest a stray cat on his street.

Police are urging members of the public to call their non-emergency line 131 444 if an immediate police presence is not required.
