Diverting 911 calls: Lessons from early adopting urban jurisdictions Criminology & Public Policy (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2024-07-16 Greg Midgette, Peter Reuter
Research SummaryTwo perceptions drive interest in finding ways of diverting more 911 calls from police to civilian first responders: (1) police responses can result in inadvertent harm to citizens and (2) many calls to which police respond require services that police often cannot provide. Thus, using other personnel may improve police–citizen relations and strengthen crime fighting by reducing extraneous
