Tables 2a, 2b, and 2c below show the average OPD Communications (911) dispatch response time to calls for service. This data refers to the time it takes OPD to respond with an officer or other personnel to each request. OPD received 929,845 calls for service (2,545 per day) and maintains a goal of first answering these calls with dispatchers and operators within 15 seconds for 95 percent of these calls2. The data shows the average monthly response time for the last five years. The data is divided into separate tables for Priority One, Priority Two and Priority Three type calls3.
The data in each cell in the tables below show minutes and seconds. For example, the first cell for January 2017 for Priority One Calls shows “22.63.” This number means that the call was responded to by OPD’s Bureau of Field Operations in 22 minutes and 63 seconds.

Actual and Projected Sworn Staffing
On December 10, 2013, City Council passed Resolution No. 84767 C.M.S., which requires the OPD staffing report to contain an analysis of any deviations between the expected and actual staffing levels, the expected hiring methods, and alternative hiring options for achieving budgeted staffing as quickly as possible. Table 4 below provides actual and projected sworn staffing for a 12-month period. The future months contain an estimated attrition rate of 8 officers per month, based on attrition rates from the previous 12-month period and projected staffing. This data is accurate as of December 31, 2021.

In September 2021, Chief Armstrong mandated all personnel who voluntarily separate from OPD (excluding service retirements) to participate in an exit interview with the Human Resources Manager or a member of the OPD Executive Team. The top four reasons for separation are:
1. Dissatisfaction with OPD leadership
2. Lack of support from City leadership
3. Heavy discipline
4. Family
