Betts says priority calls make up a small percentage of calls for service. He says the majority of 911 callers are waiting far too long for responding officers.
Betts also says he has concerns how shootings, where there is no target or injury, are not counted in the analysis. "The truth is that our City continues to be victimized by crime at unacceptable rates. The truth is that we have suffered another record year for homicides, with seven weeks still left to go in the year. The truth is that many business owners continue to eat the financial losses from being property crime victims.

The complete answer is that TPD officers prioritize the highest acuity calls for service—the Priority 1calls—and continue to drop everything else to address those calls as quickly as they can.
