It depends on the locality, and what the emergency is. Here in my city, the reponse time average is something like 30 or 40 minutes if it's a genuine immediate emergency.

If you call in a crime that is already over with, such as a home burglary, it make take several hours. Several months ago, as I was arriving home one night, I heard a volley of gunshots somewhere down the street from me, so I called the police. I waited about an hour and never saw a car go by and finally went inside and went to bed.

In a smaller city, or a city that has a better ratio of police officers, it may not take that long.

It totally depends on the size of your county - how many deputies are on duty - the amount of worklload at the time you call - and the responding deputies proximity to you. In some urbanized counties a deputy may be able to arrive within moments of your call, or in some rural counties perhaps 20 minutes to a half hour or even more.
