The average time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) taken for police to arrive on the scene of domestic burglary can be split into two categories: ‘emergency responses’ and ‘all incidents’.

Emergency responses:

The below table refers to reported domestic burglaries when the police had reason to believe a suspect may still have been present at the scene.

20210:06:17
20220:07:50
20230:07:37
4-year average0:07:30

​All Incidents:

This table includes all reported burglaries - a mixture of those resulting in emergency responses (as above) and, for example, burglaries that were only brought to police attention several days after the occurrence (e.g., when someone returned from holiday). These latter examples did not require emergency response as there was most likely no suspect present.
