本周三，在英国，去大楼执勤的警察却要被消防队员救出来，因为他们被困在了电梯中。
　　6名警察当时在英国埃塞克斯郡Brooke住宅楼的13层乘坐电梯，因为集体超重，电梯停止，他们困在电梯里17分钟后被救出。这群警察因此被称作“执勤效率最慢的队伍。”
　　一名消防员称：“他们好像是去执行拘捕任务，还是处理别的事情，后来6个人上了同一台电梯。结果6个人体重超重，电梯不动了。我们用钥匙打开电梯门，把他们放出来了。”
　　警察方面称，当时6名警察在晚上11点05分接到Brooke住宅楼的报案，结果到那之后，在电梯里待了一段时间，后被救出。而报案地点也没有什么坏事儿发生。
　　Brooke住宅楼的电梯已经发生多起事故了。
　　2009年，曾有7人被困楼里的电梯中。
　　之前的2005年6月，由于电梯事故频发，根据居民要求，住宅楼还曾花5万欧元改造电梯。
　　居民透露楼里面这些可以升到160英尺高的电梯故障不断，住在顶层的居民只能选择爬楼回家。曾有一对母女在6楼的电梯里被困了15分钟。

The slow response team: Six policemen get stuck in lift on way to job... and have to be rescued by firemen

　　Police called to disturbance at a tower block had to be rescued by firemen, after they got stuck in a lift.
　　Six burly officers piled into the lift at the 13-storey Brooke House in Basildon, Essex, but their combined weight was too much for it.
　　The men, who have been dubbed the 'slow response team', were trapped for 17 minutes before being rescued.
　　A fire brigade source said: 'They had gone to make an arrest or deal with something when all six of them decided to get into the same lift. 
　　'It was the combined weight of all of them that caused it to get stuck. 
　　'The crews had to use a lift key to get them out.' 
　　Police from the Basildon neighbourhood support team had been called to the 1960s Grade II listed Brooke House in the town centre following reports of a disturbance. 
　　They began their lift journey up the 13-storey building, but soon came to a halt because they were too heavy. 
　　A spokeswoman for Basildon police said: 'Police were called at 11.05pm following reports of a disturbance at Brooke House. 
　　'Whilst on their way to the scene officers got stuck in a lift for a short time and were assisted by the fire brigade who helped them get out. 
　　'It transpired that no crime, disturbance or breach of the peace had been committed.'
　　The incident on Wednesday night is not the first time there has been a breakdown of the Brooke House lift. 
　　In 2009 fire crews had to free seven people after they got stuck in the tower block lifts.
　　And, back in July 2005, residents in the block claimed victory after Basildon Council revealed it would spend £50,000 improving the lifts following a catalogue of incidents. 
　　Residents claimed lifts in the landmark building - which stands at 160ft tall - were breaking down every week leaving those on the highest floor having to climb 26 flights of stairs to get home. 
　　One mum and her daughter were also trapped in the lift for 15 minutes after it malfunctioned and plummeted six floors.
