Also, Private Police by Fry and Laurie

In the sketch, the "client" states that he called the police and all he could get was on-hold music.

I am afraid one can inform the international public: in some countries, this is exactly what happens, since years.

There are two cops were I live. I guess they don't always pick up. Or do you mean 911?

Yes I meant the equivalent of 911.

In 2021 the real government funded police would have zero interest in hearing about that kind of crime - assuming UK police are anything like police here.

So this seems like a bit of an improvement :)

I saw this as a greentext macro a while back. I wonder where it came from originally.
