Evan Lovett, a Los Angeles content creator, experienced a delayed response from 911 after a burglary at his home, waiting nearly an hour before receiving help. After returning home post his son's baseball game, Lovett discovered a break-in and valuables missing. His call to 911 faced long hold times while police disputed his claims of delay. Lovett seeks to highlight public safety issues and initiate discussions about service improvements in Los Angeles through his podcast platform.
Once dispatch picked up, Lovett said, L.A. police officers arrived to take a report within six minutes. By then, it was about 10:12 p.m.
Evan Lovett...called 911 and was placed on hold for 58 minutes. 'What if my son was choking? What if my wife slipped and fell in the shower and cracked her head open?'
'There was absolutely no human being that we heard from, until 58 minutes.' Lovett rebutted Valois' claims and said he had witnesses to prove it.
He'd like to use his platform to start a dialogue on how to correct what he sees as a negative trajectory for Los Angeles.
