A Community's Expectation
Oftentimes, a community evaluates their police department based on their response to calls and efficiency in providing services. According to the Textbook, response time and efficiency, that is, the speed with which the police respond to calls for service, has traditionally been seen as a crucial aspect of crime fighting, crime prevention, and community satisfaction. People expect the police to come when called, and when they do not, this can have a negative impact on public trust and police-community relationships.
After reading the Textbook, watching the video, and reading the article, San Jose Police Not Responding Fast Enough to Emergencies: Audit, answer the prompt and post your response.
