SFPD is actually more useful and chill than most major city police departments.

APD in Austin doesn't actually do much. Property crimes are not responded to at all, but they pretend to occasionally about 48 hours later. If you want personal safety, your only option is to conceal carry and defend yourself because the police have a long call backlog, morale is terrible, and are critically underfunded and understaffed by over 150 officers.
