Great BPO opportunity yes, but suppose that criminally
untrained campusarian on night shift at this busy call
centre retorts (to Walu at 2 am;-) "ah ha! ...you said
you are calling from where exactly? How do the
suspects look, you said they are carrying dangerous
weapons?  please elaborate..."

Worse still, the BPO company belongs to rival economic
 tribe? => Privatised security Mama Mia! Perhaps
trained policemen are more likely to zoom in on
attackers equipped with "extra info" than civilian
workers at the call centre?

Efficiency model is superb, but maybe essential public
services are best left to specialised persons? BTW,
were police landlines fully restored? if not, who then
will settle the BPO bills?

Michuki, I like this one!
