Yeah, uh-huh, like I believe a word out of a cop’s mouth.

This is just a way to dodge responsibility. If personnel were a problem, they wouldn’t falsify public records by closing 311 calls out so quickly as “no issue observed.”

>“no issue observed.”

lol, that may be factually true, but it doesn't say they didn't send any person to try to observe it.

There were reports by Streetsblog if I recall of 311s getting closed in minutes while the complainant was still watching the offending vehicles. I suspect both cases happen, officers close a case without doing any action (such as observing), and they are so delayed they do drive by at some point and the original issue is gone.
