Police in England and Wales to get new strict emergency response time limits

Officers will be expected to arrive at crime scenes within 15 minutes in urban areas and 20 minutes in the countryside while attending serious crimes, the Home Office said. The new time limits will apply if there is a danger to life, an immediate threat of violence or the possibility of a serious injury or damage to property, or if a crime is in progress. Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, is preparing to announce a full package of changes that the Home Office claims to be the biggest overhaul in two centuries.
