re: #46 Mattand

NYPD has a 9.1 minute response time. It’s been over 10 minutes in the past.

But, and there’s that word, it doesn’t mean everyone should carry firearms, not when NYC has lower homicide and crime rates than most other major metro areas and even many rural areas on a per capita basis.

The 9.1 minute is the aggregate for all calls to 911 (such as non-critical calls). Critical calls, which would be for crimes in progress, have a response time of under 5 minutes. Serious calls have a response time of about 5.5 minutes.
