Police response time longer


From the NY Post:

More than half the city's 75 precincts saw increased response times to "critical" calls from 2007 to 2008, according to NYPD data.

Although many of the 38 precincts saw only slight increases, others had more significant spikes in average response time, including a 42-second increase at the 100th Precinct in Rockaway, Queens, and a 38-second hike at the 13th Precinct on Manhattan's East Side.

The average citywide response time rose by about four seconds to 4 minutes and 10 seconds. Every borough except Staten Island experienced increases.

Oh man, what a hard problem to figure out. Why could the times be getting slower? Oh, Maybe it's because they are barely hiring if at all anymore, allowing the number of officers to drop to as low as the levels in 1991..

Thid makes me laugh my ass off. I can't even get a cop from the 104th pct. to come to my house when I have been a victim of a crime , moreless have them get out of their patrol car to ring my bell. Not to say all cops, but alot of cops from the 104th pct. are what we call "lesbians = they don't do dick... I waited 3 hours for the lesbians to come and they had 911 call me to let me know they were there. In maspeth, if you are a victim of a crime, you can expect to wait anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. And that is if they even show up.

November 3 is your day to regain control of your own life. Use it effectively.

The GI hardball ammo from my licensed

A helluva lot faster than my local precinct's response time!

NRA all the way!

Not that I disagree with you, but why didin't just go to the precinct to report the crime, instead of waiting for the cops to come to you?

Actually, that isn't a very bad thing. Maybe they can keep any more of the shit from the border from entering MV, Maspeth, Glendale.

That's funny...I got lightning response the last time I placed a 911 emergency call!

I offered a free Dunkin Donuts gift certificate to the first police cruiser that reaches my door!

There....now I've done it!

I never understood that whole cops/donuts stereotype. Does anyone know what it actually means or where it comes from?
I'm not necessarily defending cops, it is just that I am honestly wondering how they got donuts attached to their reputations. I see all kinds of people in donut shops, teachers, lawyers, laborers and yuppies of all kinds. How did cops get stamped with the distinction? Is it bacause of the fat cop image? Aren't so many non-cops fat? Don't other foods make you fat? I love donuts, but I never felt like a cop if I had one. Just wondering.

Bloomberg's cutting back on the cops!

Big mystery solved!

He's also closing fire houses and some hospitals too!

Oh...
but he claims to care so much for the middle class.

At least that's what his bogus TV ads are pumping out!

A caffeine and sugar rush help you get the job done...I'd guess.

At the end of the day...it's booze to relax.

An awful lot of cops are actually alcoholics.

Not that I can blame them for the lousy side of life they have to deal with.

I'd probably wind up drinking myself.

No response times are down because my landlord is using the police as his own personal lackeys to annoy and harrass the rent-controlled and rent stabilized tenants.

I hope that they can spare some time pulling people out from under collapsing buildings also.

Don't forget to vote for Bloomberg,
endorsed by the Ceiling on Your Head Party!

It is funny you said that because when they first tried to steal my tires, which they could'nt cause I have tire locks, I went to the 104th pct. to report it. I was told by th captain at a town meeting that we should report it. So after work I stopped by the pct. to file a report of attempted robbery, but when I got there the cop at the desk asked why I did'nt call, I told him I had to go to work and he told me to go home call. I had asked him if there was anyone there to take this report and he persisted that I go home and call 911. So I went home called, waited 3 hours, only to have 2 fat cops, sit in their patrol car, and try to talk me out of reporting it. Sayinmg well nothing was actually stolen. Well so much for reporting it. And the story went on. 2 weeks later, my neighbor had 4 of his tires stolen and my son's car was robbed 2 weeks after that. The day nmy son's car was robbed, I waited 3 hours, and I had to try to fill out the report in the dark and in the cold, while these fat bastards sat in thier car. So the cops at the 104 th pct are in my eye are"LESBIANS" beacuae they don't do dick.

If a cop doesn't want to take your report,just tell him you'll call 1800pridepd with their badge number and that maybe someone there can take the report.

The real reason:Cops are tired of beig second-guessed by the assholes in this city.They don't want to go to jail for doing their job.Community board 12 recommended naming a street after sean bell,because he was a role model!?!?! Are you fucking kidding me? They tried to block having a street named for police officer eddie byrne who gave his life protecting those savages.Now kelly and bloombrg are hiring mutts from foriegn countries whose backgrounds can't/wont be verified The Police dept. is not the place to to make your great social experiment..If you are a white male cop and are proactive,you are looked down upon! You asked for it now you got it!I feel sorry for the good citizens out there that will be victims.Giulliani was a prick,but he didnt take shit from the racial politcians and he backed the cops. Kelly/blmbrg have thrown cops under the bus time after time to gain political favor,and the few real cops left out there either retire or just sit back in disgust.Good luck,you'll need it!

or maybe the real reason is because they have 3 sector cars all holding 15 jobs in all corners of a gigantic precinct and wind up handling 20+ jobs in 8hrs with none of the free time you think they have to go and sit in Dunkin Donuts.
