Many PD's can't get responses to those calls anymore, due to high volume of critical calls and low manpower. SLCPD especially, with their busy jurisdiction. There are times they have priority 1 call's holding, and when they can't even get to priority 1's immediately, you have significant wait times for the rest. Priority 1's and 2's should always be immediate responses, as all those are essentially serious crimes in progress or calls indicating potential for serious bodily injury or death. I don't know SLCPD's priority scale, but I'd assume noise complaints are 5 or 6 on the scale. They've even shifted minor non-injury accidents, vehicle burglaries, thefts, and other similar calls to an online citizen self-reporting portal because they can't ever get officers to those low priority calls. They need a lot more officers than they have for their jurisdiction's call volume.

The 2020 events and perception of law enforcement, combined with the now worker shortage and pay issues have left a ton of agencies way too short on manpower. We really need a lot more people applying for police jobs and working in law enforcement, it has been really bad the last 18 months for low staffing and few applicants. Hopefully going into 2022 applicant numbers go up.
