I think the police's level of response is based on the intial reporting of the crime and available resources at the time.
I called the police a couple of years ago as one night my sleep was disturbed by a male in my and the neighbours back yard shining his torch through our windows. I was terrified, the police response was very quick, 4 officers in 2 cars intially and then a van with the dogs in, i showed them the suspect through my bathroom window and they where off around the back to the yards.
I heard lots of shouting and barking, eventually this quietened down and the police left.
I had a restless night but assumed they had scared him away.
The next day i went round to the neighbours to let them know about the man and to check they where ok.
The neighbours daughter opened the door and i told her about my phone call to the police and the strange man to which she said, that was my dad looking for our cat.
Relationships between myself and next door have gradually improved and the cats ok.

Thats exactly how it works - if there is immediate danger to person or property or if a crime is in progress then police (probably quite a few of them) will be on scene within minutes.bag lady wrote:I think the police's level of response is based on the intial reporting of the crime and available resources at the time.
The target resopnse time for an "I grade" (that is, an urgent call) is under 9 minutes. Most likely it will be considerably less than that.
also depends on the available units within the area...bensonby wrote:Thats exactly how it works - if there is immediate danger to person or property or if a crime is in progress then police (probably quite a few of them) will be on scene within minutes.bag lady wrote:I think the police's level of response is based on the intial reporting of the crime and available resources at the time.
