    Thats what I really don’t get. In other countries if you call an ambulance, police has nothing to do with it.

    In my country (Germany) the central emergency hotline 112, the equivalent to 911, isn’t even run by police. Fire departments are coordinating emergencies.

      Ours aren’t run by police either anymore. It’s a company with regional phone centers that alerts local police/ambulance/fire.
