You would think, but actually it's the other way around. First thing to go is staffing in districts where there is low crime. So the one time your mom calls 911 for someone breaking into her house, better hope that she's got a gun. While in the high crime areas, there is more police, fire, and EMS support just due to the high volume of calls for service.

Rhetorical question: Is this an example?
