For some people in Detroit, calling 911 isn't an option anymore. That's because it takes too long for any help to arrive.
People have developed their own emergency response plans that often involve calling relatives or friends, The New York Times reports.
How bad is it? For the highest-priority crimes, Detroit police take about 58 minutes, on average, to answer 911 calls.
