   Sounds like Letterman crap.   
      
   There is a website with pictures of Australian Police Cars from all   
   over the country.  Most don't display a standard number like our 911.   
   The only thing that comes close is a couple of states apparently use   
   "000".  Others just display a regular (long) phone number.  You know,   
   you really shouldn't believe everything (or actually, much of anything)   
   you hear on TV.
