More than 80% of BSPP's total emergency calls are for EMS, and these units are often very busy, averaging 10 or more runs a day.
As in many other cities, a high proportion of these calls are not really emergencies at all. Recently, the major-general in command has made an appeal to permit the BSPP to charge for non-emergency service runs, but this has not yet been decided.
