911 response time is up!

Compared to January 2018, NYPD response times reported in December 2023 have risen across the board—that is, for critical (up 22%), serious (up 45.5%), and non-critical (up 28.7%) calls.

The NYPD has gone from a force of approximately 36,000 uniformed personnel in 2018 to just over 33,600 today—a reduction of nearly 7%. Indeed, a smaller NYPD fielded a million more calls for service in 2022 (7.1 million) than it did in 2018 (6.1 million).
