Besides the unanswered 911 calls, fewer officers is a major factor in why there’s been an over 50% drop in annual arrests since 2019. Arrests were made in only 57% of the murders in 2022, down from 72% in 2019.
“Thank you for calling Chicago 911, all of our operators are currently busy speaking with other emergency callers. Your expected wait time is……….20 minutes.”
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Maybe they need to upgrade the phone system from this. Plus they need to hire more dedicated operators. LOL
