The distances involved in the far reaches of the country, and the fact that large areas are covered by one or two squads, makes for a varied response time. And if the police have encountered another mugging, they're tied up. It works better in the larger citites, of course, because we have more police officers there.Also, as police here in Sweden are understaffed, they don't have the resources to investigate any but the most serious crimes. For example, a friend of mine got her motorbike stolen, and had to find the culprits herself, since the police was tied up in other crimes and a lot of red tape.But as you say, if there is critical issue, then the police shows up. But there are also plenty situationen where we low level pc's needs to deal with stuff ourselves. Mostly the minor stuff, and very seldom BBEG, but it might happen.[EDIT: Of coures, to acknowledge the problem posed, I must also point out that we low level pc's don't get calls from the 9th level chief of police asking us to clear out the bad guys. They send low level cops instead.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ]Cheers!Maggan</blockquote>
