Interesting. Im not suprised rich white folk (I am white by the way), get better police service than poor minority neighborhoods.

Hatch, It is not just volume. La Jolla will dispatch officers for offenses that do not even get a response from other departments. The second fastest response time in the county is Coronado.

Im seeing a pattern here. Money talks. Ive often mentioned to those around me that financial/economic racism exists.

Interesting. Im not suprised rich white folk (I am white by the way), get better police service than poor minority neighborhoods. why is that? Tell us, why is it? I suppose this isn't a case of one group getting better service than another group. It is more of a case of one community over another. Another point of view is that a community that has a higher crime rate is likely have much better service because the majority of the police units are dispatched to patrol those areas. If those areas are predominatly minority, then the minorities are getting the better service as more units patrol their neighborhoods. But that factor can change too as the ratio of calls per unit in any given area will also affect the "quality" of service. Since the police responded to the needs of the various communities, the community itself involuntarily lends a great deal to the quality they receive. As it is well known that a civil disturbance is the worst call a police officer can respond to, there are also two communities that are hazardous. The first is a crime ridden neighborhood where the police are looked at as the "enemy' by a large segment of the community and thus likely to interfere with police activities. The second is a high income "rich" neighborhood where they feel they don't have to follow directions of a police officer. That is a situation that is likely to escalate real sudden like! The odds of a confrontation is much less likely in the second case than the first though!

I am surprised you remember Bush saying we weren't the world's policeman in 2000, larry. I didn't. I guess it really wasn't decided until 9/11. Personally, I was never against intervening overseas in all cases, we just need to pick and choose our fights a lot more wisely. And a competent Secretary of Defense helps, as is getting those nutty neocons out of the White House.

Jack Oliver can't back up his statement; he was only spouting off on Larry's lead.
As others have stated here, it is all about call volume and area coverage, not racism.
I can only speak to the medical assistance, but, in fact if you live in a high-call-volume area, you are likely to get the best medical care from both the first responders and the ER personell because they deal with all scenarios on a higher volume.
You see, some things just make common sense.
Now, if you want to talk about dedicated units being tied up for BS cover-your-ass calls, talk to the attorneys who have had a lot to do with policy changes.

Coronado also has their own department. Coronado also has an abundance of Federal Police at the Navy Bases who assist when needed and they keep the Sailors and Marines in line! I like living near our bases and I really like having our defenders as neighbors!
