And, on March 15, the force tweeted: "Wanting to report toilet roll being sold at double its value is definitely #Not999."
Chief Constable John Robins said: "The public can be reassured that we are committed to doing everything we can to ensure their safety."
He added: "The public can help us manage our demand by thinking carefully before they call either 999 or the 101 non-emergency number, so that we can help those who are facing an emergency situation get the help they so urgently need quickly."
