Looking at old Town Reports - Arlington Mass - Part 2 - Response Times 1972 Annual Town Report - no mention of response times
1975 - no mention 1977 - average police response time to all calls in 1976 was 3.98 minutes - many times were missing - further analysis in the Spring of 1977 with more complete data showed an average of 3.16 minutes - (dispatchers and patrol officers paid more attention to calling in and recording arrival times) 1988 - no mention 1989 - no mention 1990 - no mention 1997 - no mention 1998 - no mention 1999 - no mention 2000 - no mention 2001 - no mention 2002 - no mention 2003 - no mention 2004 - no mention 2005 - no mention 2006 - no mention 2007 - no mention 2008 - no mention 2009 - no mention 2010 - ? no mention - (I am sure there was no mention - but I didnt write that down in my notes - but I am too lazy to go look at the 2010 Annual Report again) 2011 - no mention 2012 - no mention 2013 - no mention ------------------------------- 2009 Arlington Financial Budget - FD average response time from 2006 to 2009 was 3 minutes 30 seconds 2014 Arlington Financial Budget - Community Safety - 2011 and 2012 - average FD response time of 3 minutes I dont think that either of these documents are still online to double check that info - (unless they are on the FinCom website - maybe I will check that out) - and we dont know the definition of "response time" here ----------------------------- In any case - the Annual Town Report never mentions response times. Its taboo verboten blasphemy whatever. My opinion - unless there are GPS trackers in all vehicles, you aint never gonna get any good info - and for highrise blds, you will never get good info unless you require the responders to report when they make "patient contact" Los Angeles FD, NFPA, and London UK FD have published big response time reports recently. There are many different components of "response times" - such as - "call answering time" - "call taking time" - "call entry time" - "call allocation time" - "queing time" - "alerting time" - "turnout time" - "travel time" - "entry time" - etc etc etc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
