Portland residents have to wait more than 5 minutes for their 911 calls to be answered

[Locke11_21]

When I read this article, I was pleased to read how the residents of Portland, OR are suffering. They voted in their problems, now they have to live with the consequences of their idiocy. Elections have consequences. I would love to see the entire Portland police dpt. quit their jobs and give the idiots in that city exactly what they voted for and deserve. Portland is just one the infinite list of where the letter D next to a candidates name stands for "Destruction", destruction of God, freedom, liberty, civility, morality, patriotism, family, love of America. I used to be registered Libertarian, then I switched to American Independent. I have said it many times, I will vote 3rd party, I will vote for truly good Republicans, but I will drink jet fuel and piss on a forest fire before I ever vote for a democrat or a RINO. Speaking of forest fires, another case of where the D next to a candidates name stands for destruction; in that thanks to the democrats, California's forests are on fire.

Portland residents trying to call 911 to report emergencies have to wait for increasingly long periods of time before dispatchers answer their calls. City officials say the system has become “unmanageable” and “broken.” Portlanders who spoke with the local media outlet The Oregonian reported...

I'm surprised 911 calls are answered at all.

I wonder what the average wait nation wide is?

I just can’t feel sorry for these people. I hope the Republican voters are armed and can save themselves. Maybe a lot of left wingers deaths will change their vote. If not it’s what they wanted.

Thats nothing...............where I live, you call 911 and get a recording that tells you to leave a message.

Portland is a communist place. That's how they like things over there.

Broward County Florida (hard core Left) has a 911 system and a 911 alternative (non emergency) system.

A recent call to the non emergency number received no answer after several tries.

Also today I started seeing illegal immigrants taking up spots around Publix.
VERY dirty and unkept (at least these). They were apparently asking for handouts in a foreign language.
No one wanted to get near them....these looked like they hadn't cleaned themselves in years.

Thanks Democrats !! Making American "normal" again, one disaster at a time (in waves)

911 is you then. Kind of like how the democrats want the entire country to be once they defund the police.

911 What’s your emergency?
My boyfriend is going to kill me!
We will send a social worker in a few hours.
He’s trying to cut my throat!
He won’t do that just calm down.
The social worker will be there soon.
Are you there? Hello?
We lost her.
Should be fine tough. The social worker is close.
911 what’s your emergency? I’m the social worker and there’s a dead girl here. Is this the victim or the criminal?
Well, see if you can find him and give him a stern talking to.
I have another call.
911 what’s your emergency?

What's the national standard for answering a 911 call?
The original industry standard established by the National Emergency Number Association (NENA) is that 90 percent of all emergency calls should be answered within 10 seconds. In February 2019, the San Francisco Department of Emergency Managerment (DEM) adopted the new national standard: 95% of all calls should be answered within 15 seconds.

That doesn't include the time it takes for law enforcement to get to you. Depending on the city or locale that could take from 5 minutes to 45 minutes.

I was in the same university with some of them years ago at Corvallis, Oregon. There were so many fine people there. Even if I have very conservative views, my heart goes out to them with the results of certain political groups there shooting people and defunding police schticks. Many of them are professional people and are givers in their communities as grads and workers in every kind of services. I love those dear people of Oregon when my husband's job put us there for five years. A piece of my heart will always love those five years of awesome natural beauty and fruitful fields of every kind.

That's why I don't love or work there anymore.

The only political groups with guns to do the shooting are the police unions.

Let me guess. Joe told them not to answer. Have another swing. Don't bother getting some facts. That would bugger up the story completely.

Amy difference between a registered sex offender and a registered gun owner? Damn cops lock us all in bed together and treat us all the same anyways no matter what.

I agree....and you should add bleach to the list...it'll really get the lefties going....

It says in the OP link 15 to 20 seconds.

 

[g5000]

The delay is probably being caused by people calling 911 to complain McDonald's is out of chicken nuggets.
