This is a widely accepted phenomenon that when calling SPD, they don’t show up. I haven’t needed to call them in a long time and called a few hours ago about a neighbor (who has kids) who was experiencing a mental health crisis and I did call because I am worried about her kids.
Why don’t they show up? I don’t feel like they ever had an amazing response time, I’ve lived here my whole life, but it seems pretty bleak that they… will not respond.
Edited to add- 12:32 a.m. and neighbor has escalated to banging on her neighbors door and screaming threats. Called 911 again to report escalation after no response yet.
