Police Response Times On The Rise

In Britain police forces are taking up to 30% longer than two years ago to respond to emergency 999 calls, the police force changed its targets in 2011 from a 10 minutes emergency response target to 15 minutes and a specific warning was put out to staff not to complain publicly about cuts as it risked reducing confidence. The average response time for an emergency call in America is 10 minutes. Atlanta has the worst response time with 11 to 12 minutes. The average interaction time between a criminal and victim is 90 seconds. Remember YOU are your first responder, Be prepared! A situation can get out of hand in seconds dont rely on anyone except yourself! If help comes its a bonus! http://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2013/07/13/revealed-police-forces-are-taking-up-to-30-longer-to-react-to-999-calls/
