Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be in a 911 call centre? The Nova Scotia RCMP won’t take you behind the scenes, but you can go on a virtual ride-along Friday night on Twitter.

The @RCMPNS account will be live-tweeting some of the 911 calls they get between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. using the hashtag #CopCallsNS.

RCMP also say they’ll be providing tips on how to use 911 services and will  give a glimpse into the role 911 operators play in responding to emergencies.

Details of the 911 calls will be kept confidential in the interest of protecting privacy, but Twitter users can expect to see tweets such as “Report of a break-in in Bible Hill.”

The Mounties are encouraging users to ask questions so they can learn more about how the 911 operators work together with police.
