“Analysts using data obtained from the Chicago Police Department (CPD) found that ‘in 2021 there were 406,829 incidents of high-priority emergency service calls for which there were no police available to respond. That was 52 percent of the 788,000 high-priority 911 service calls dispatched in 2021.’ The calls involved serious crimes like in-progress assaults or batteries, persons shot or stabbed, robberies, domestic violence, and violations of court protective orders.” – NRA National Rifle Association, August 8, 2022
