San Francisco residents expressed concerned that police response was too slow after Sunday's shootout along the Embarcadero. I-Team's data analysis shows how SFPD's response time compares to the average.
"This was a pretty significant series of crime scenes," Chief Scott said during Sunday's press conference. "You have a lot of people calling from different locations."
Chief Scott told the I-Team the response times to both shooting locations may have varied because it takes around two minutes to get between each scene. "Whether they went to the point where this started and ended up here, that takes time," said Chief Scott. "You can imagine, just a mile of chaos." ABC7's analysis of fire scanner traffic shows fire and medical personnel were on scene within four minutes and 30 seconds of the first 911 call. But between the two scenes, medical response times did vary. For example, records show medics were on scene within one minute to respond to the pedestrian crash near Pier 39. But records show it took 11 minutes for medics to arrive to the SUV crash near Howard St.
Chief Scott added fire and medical crews couldn't enter either scene Sunday night until police secured the area - which may have added to those response times.
