Let's say 911 there got staffed up and got resources to handle the call volume. Would this actually translate to better emergency services response? One assumes they're also all busy, all the time, no?
- detaro 8y agoHigh-priority call that makes it through to a dispatcher at least has a chance to be "triaged" and responders from something less urgent pulled for it?
- core-questions 8y agoMmm, good point. Still, I'd bet that the money would be better spent beefing up policing / emergency service efforts instead of giving them even more work that they'll never get to. That said, I'd never feel safe living somewhere where 911 didn't answer immediately and have an average response time within a few minutes.
