“Things have gotten worse, not better on the 911 response front.'

Seattle City Councilmember Sara Nelson believes the policy pivot is an outgrowth of under staffing. According to data in a recent SPD Finance and Response Time Report, over the past four years response times have gone up at all Seattle Police precincts, indicating it’s taking longer for help to arrive.
Nelson was among the first to learn of the change at a June 14 Public Safety and Human Services Committee meeting. 911 calls have always been ranked based on how serious the emergency is. According to the council analyst, currently, if a dispatcher determines a complaint as lower priority, they’ll tell the caller that SPD is suffering from a lack of resources and that they should call back at another time.
Jim Fuda, Executive Director of Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound, says the failed defund the police experiment has led to the use of “Z protocol.” He’s concerned that without a follow up call or further communication from law enforcement, more people may start taking matters into their own hands.
