Please can you tell me the average response time of an NPAS helicopter to Cambridgeshire (the time from being requested to arriving on scene) between April 1, 2012, and March 31, 2013.
RESPONSE
From Information provided to Cambridge Constabulary by NPAS Average response time 35 minutes and 26 seconds
Notes. 1. NPAS in operation between 01/10/2012 and 31/03/2013
2. These response times only relate to the 'none quick time' responses that go through the standard NPAS call process system. Urgent calls can be responded to via the helicopter ie. without the accepted time.
3. The 35 minutes and 26 seconds relates to 30 flights that the 'request time' and the time 'on scene' are present on the log.
