The Kansas City study of response time found that immediate response to less serious crimes did not significantly increase citizen satisfaction or the likelihood of arrest. Therefore, methods that do not require immediate dispatch of officers to the scene, such as taking reports over the phone, using non-sworn personnel, or asking victims to come to the police department, were considered viable. Dispatching an officer immediately from a border district contradicts the study's findings that immediate response is not always necessary for less serious crimes.
