Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen said he’s deeply concerned by the increase in response times, which he described as a supply-and-demand problem: Too much demand for police services and too few cops on the street.
According to Denver Police, the average response time for lower-priority 911 calls in 2018 was about 29 minutes. Through the first half of this year, it increased to over 34 minutes – more than 5 1/2 minutes longer.
Perhaps even more alarming, since 2018, response times for the highest priority calls, like those for shootings, have increased nearly 3 minutes and is now about 14 1/2 minutes.
