Police Service of Northern Ireland: Standards

Volume 457: debated on Monday 5 March 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what the average Police Service of Northern Ireland response time was to (a) emergency and (b) non-emergency calls in each district command unit in each of the past five years for which figures are available. (123498)

The PSNI does not record average response times for (a) emergency and (b) non-emergency calls for each DCU unit and therefore the information requested is not available.

Objective 1.2.1 within the Policing Plan for 2006-07 is to respond to 75 per cent. of emergency calls within 15 minutes. As of 27 February 2007 the number of response calls designated as emergency calls responded to within 15 minutes was 79.2 per cent.
