We appreciate you patience. Our system isn't setup to generate these specific reports, so we have to create adhoc reports to fulfill this request. Our goal is to have the information returned to you within 60 days of the initial request.
Thank you,

Per your request, the files provide the following:
Average Response times for all call types, including domestic disturbances, that the Helena Montana Police Department responded to in July of 2019 and 2020. These are listed and averaged in each of the Helena PoliceDepartment-CFS_ResponseTimeBreakdown-07-20xx.pdf files. These will also show the priority, and final disposition of each call, including Domestics.
Separated by individual domestic disturbance/violence call, in the Domestics-07xx-Runtimes.txt files you will see the type of call, date and time received for each call, as well as when each officer was dispatched and arrived on scene.
Our 911 system doesn't track individuals involved in a call for service by involvement type, so we are unable to provide race and ethnicity of victims and perpetrators.
Thank you for your patience,
