Sorry if you've answered this before but I've just discovered your blog. What does a "slow down" mean? It seems like some of these crimes deserve a very fast response. Can you help clarify? Thanks for your work keeping the community informed.

Anonymous, a "slow down" means an officer has arrived on scene and is telling all other responding officers not to get hurt responding. Meaning, they don't have to speed or use lights/sirens.
