911 Response Times for 10 Large US Cities

The Best and Worst Police Response Times of 10 Major U.S. Cities

1. Chicago (kind of…)
Chicago has a reputation for being a high crime city, however, they have been able to keep police response times for high priority calls down to 3.46 minutes. We were unable to find their average response time across all 911 calls, so we hesitate to praise Chicago as the most responsive city overall.

Seattle gets the real #1 spot with an average response of 5.7 minutes. Denver pulls down the #10 slot with an average response of just under 13 minutes (just behind Detroit).

So what will you do for those minutes?
