When Police Response Time Is Too Long – Guarda Security Screens
When you place an emergency 911 phone call to your local police department, in most cases you’ve found yourself in a dire situation. Every moment counts! Especially when an intruder is breaking into your home. Now even your alarm system can place that emergency call, which is amazing as far as technological advancements are concerned. Considerations must still be made; the average police department response time is 10 minutes. A lot can happen in 10 minutes. When it comes to you and your family, 10 minutes is far too long to wait. When you have an armed intruder or intruders outside your home, and the only thing stopping them from gaining access into your home is roughly 1/8th window. Not even a response time of 5 minutes will due.
