"St. Louis is improving its 911 response times."
The City of St. Louis recently reported that wait times for emergency calls have significantly improved since this summer. Although about a third of local dispatcher positions remain open and emergency call wait times continue to be longer than the national standard, the city has filled most of their vacancies for 911 dispatchers by increasing staff’s pay.
