Analysis

A priority 1 call is for a situation where a police officer's presence is immediately needed. Examples could be a robbery in progress, domestic violence situation, or a situation where a person's life is in danger. 

For the past year, the average response time to priority 1 calls has been consistently below the target of 7:00. The Police Department expects to continue achieving this level of success in the future. 

The 7:00 minute target was established by reviewing national averages and taking into account the size and call volume at Thornton.
