The force shared a clip of the exchange, which was "too cute not to share" to Facebook, where the call begins in the usual fashion, with the dispatcher asking what the nature of the emergency was.
"You've got some toys for me?" she asks. "Come over and see them!" he adds.
There is then a scuffle, and an adult comes to the phone, informing the operator that there is no emergency.
"Constable Kurt from Southern District Police responded by arriving at the child's house and was shown an array of toys," the force posted on Facebook. "He also had a good educational chat with the child and his parents about only using 111 for emergencies," it added.
"While we don't encourage children to call 111 to show us their toys, this was too cute not to share," the force added.
