Listening to my scanner tonight and heard units dispatched to a burglary in progress. Female home alone tells dispatch two unknown males are attempting to make entry to her home.
Dispatch advises responding officers: "reporting party advises she is retrieving her gun"
Responding unit: "advise her to get her gun and barracaid herself. "

Units arrive on scene and don't see anyone. They advise dispach to have RP put away the gun officers will be coming to her door. Suspects were not located and no one was hurt.
I think it speaks volumes of my local PD to advise the victims to arm them self dispite units responding. And they were on scene in less then 2 min!
