KCPD Chief: 911 wait times are 'unacceptable'
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City Police Chief Rick Smith is asking the city for an additional $9.3 million in funding for the next fiscal year in order to tackle issues such as 911 hold times. In his blog post Thursday, Smith called the wait times "unacceptable."
Name something that KCPD does that's Acceptable.
ReplyDeleteI just use 1911.
ReplyDeleteI agree with 9:34 . Just dial 1911 first then you can call the non emergency number
DeleteWhoa, keyboard warrior special forces alert!
DeleteI’m with him!!!
ReplyDeleteBend over KC. I smell a work up and a snow job pitch at a new tax proposal.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Chief Smith.
ReplyDeleteHas he gotten those take home cars under control?
ReplyDeleteKCPD is a total loss and a waste of money.
ReplyDeleteClearly so are you.
DeleteThe 911 call wait times are unacceptable....
ReplyDeletethey must have work around the clock to figure that one out. Or maybe they had to hire a consultant to tell them that.
4:43 You are right! but hey thats why I live outside the 911 KCMO call zone, if any of you KCMO residents have any serious existing medical problems, you might consider moving to a suberb or town that is serious about public saftey!! KCFD loves saving their wages and their jobs via the power of their Union, and at the end of the day (unless saving your ass ends up on the news) They really could give less than 5 shits about the citizens who pay their wages.
ReplyDeletestop using resources investigating crimes in the hood and we will save several million right there.
ReplyDeleteThen even if they did get the MONEY, within 2 years, they'd be complaining they need more and having to lay off more personel, nothin' but lies & excuses out of this bunch of Ba'foons !!!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe to pay for the improvements they could sell ads that would run on the 911 line. You would have to listen to a 30 second "My Pillow" ad before you explained your emergency.
ReplyDeleteWhat we really need is a commitment not to send officers so we can clean up these thugs without interference.
