Woman made 339 abusive calls to 999 operators
Police then deployed specialist officers to work with Osinska to address her behaviour.
But she remained uncooperative and continued to make malicious calls.
When she was arrested last week, she told officers: “Well, everyone calls 999. I read it in the paper.”
Following the court hearing, Superintendent Mark Kenny of GMP’s Salford Division said: “Anyone who ties up a 999 line with inappropriate calls prevents genuine emergencies being dealt with, and potentially puts lives in danger.
“Osinska’s deplorable behaviour has run this risk hundreds of times – not to mention causing gross offence to the hard-working call handlers who’ve had to deal with her frequent abuse, as well as wasting public money.
“The nature of Osinska’s calls was frequently vile – and never once referred to a valid emergency situation.
“She has been given numerous chances to cease this behaviour, but has refused time after time to engage with officers.
“Quite why she continued; only she knows. She has brought this punishment upon herself and will now have a long time to think about her actions.”
Osinska, of Liverpool Road, Peel Green, pleaded guilty pleading guilty to making use of a public communication network to cause annoyance.
