A Houston (Tex.) man had an accident and dialed 911 to report it, along with his observation that the other driver was grossly intoxicated. The man made several follow-up calls, but dispatchers continued to tell him that other calls were a priority. Finally, after waiting two hours the man decided to report the accident at a police sub-station, and watched the other driver stumble back into his car and drive off. A TV report of the incident finished with the information that Houston PD is “short staffed by about 600 officers.” Read the story here. The city is also debating a new no-pursuit policy, detailed in this story.
