New York City first responders are taking longer to get to fires, medical emergencies and crimes in progress.
Critics blamed the potential deadly surge in response times on serious staffing shortages in the NYPD and FDNY.
As the Police Department continues to deal with spikes in major crimes and a mass exodus of cops, response times to all “crimes in progress” during the past fiscal year ending June 30 increased from 11 minutes and 40 seconds to 12 minutes and 44 seconds – or 9.1%, according to Mayor Adams’ first management report.
In fiscal 2019, which predated the COVID-19 pandemic and the many new challenges it to brought citywide, the average response time was 9 minutes and 55 seconds.
The Fiscal 2022 Mayor’s Management Report released late Friday – which covers the highs and lows of all city agencies during the final six months of ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration and the first six of Adams’ – also highlighted a serious uptick specifically in response times to armed robberies, burglaries and other “critical crimes.”
Cops on average responded off 911 calls to these crimes in 8 minutes and 26 seconds, compared to 7 minutes and 52 seconds a year ago. In fiscal 2019, they arrived on average in 6 minutes and 38 seconds after a 911 dispatcher fielded the call for help.
Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Queens), who chairs the fire and emergency management committee, blamed de Blasio’s progressive policies for helping nudge many cops who felt “disrespected” into early retirement and leaving the NYPD short-staffed.

Hard to respond when you are busy staring at your phone or sleeping in your car.
The dems are showing their true colors.
THe best employees left under deBlasio and they moved far away and not coming back.
NYX used to have the best. He drove them away,
Way too many cars on the road. Gasoline is way too cheap. Cars are way too big for the city.
Prove me wrong…
It time to move to Florida.! I can’t take the crime and snow anymore. Bye bye house sale as of Monday.!!!!!
Here we go again another shooting hoodlums on mopeds. Well NYer if we don’t remove Hochul and all the weak democrats from control of our city on November we will continue to suffer. Wake up if you want real change; if you want a safe city and criminals to be put in jail where they belong. Vote Lee Zeldin and Republican all the way down the ballot. Enough is enough you can’t complain then continue to support weak progressive democrats politicians. Fire DA Braggs and all the weak DA’s and judges who are releasing criminals.
Do tell.
After you morons fired everybody who was not into your WEF killshot.
Now you are complaining about staff shortages.
Result: to kill those who need emergency services.
The Klaus Schwab, KM leader's vision of the "Great Reset".
Or "Build Back Better".
Yeah. Right.
There wouldn't be ANY traffic if we got rid of BIKE LANES and outdoor dining
@Way too many cars on the road. Gasoline is way too cheap. Cars are way too big for the city.
Just proved you are stupid TA commie.
According to TA commie:
We should have bikes for ambulances and fire response.
Talk about some show.
His e-bike battery is burning down the neighborhood, while first responders on bikes and tricycles are trying to get to him and his neighbors.
You know after all it is the best way to get around NYC.
Yes people, this is how stupid communist activists are on good old capitalist corporate money.
The best degenerates money can buy.
Looking forward to the AI version of TA commie.
