Knowing one's location

I'm working Quietsville when a beat bobby calls up, lots of noise going on in the background.

"Bravo Sierra Control, I've got two in custody for shoplifting, Sainsburys, Quietsville town centre - can I have a van on the hurry-up please?"

The van unit is free and immediately heads towards.  When he gets there, he calls up again.

"Control, can you confirm that officer's location?  We're at Quietsville Sainsburys and there's nothing going on."

The beat officer replies, slightly embarrassed, still with offenders swearing in the background.

"I'm actually in Othertown...  I normally work Quietsville but I'm here on attachment.  I'll switch to their channel."

Whoops.
