Hi, I'm Samantha Griffen!

Hello, the story I will be working on focuses on response time for the San Diego Police Department. The response time of officers affects public safety, community trust in the department, and contributes to recruitment issues. San Diego promised a seven minute response time for level one emergencies, whaen in reality they are closer to 14-minute response times. This discrepancy can perpetuate problems that could have had a simpler solution had there been a quicker response. This discrepancy will be made worse in areas that receive a higher volume of calls. It will increase the demand for officers in a time where recruitment is seeing many lows.
