If your neighborhood is served by a local police department, you're likely to have a faster response time if you call 9-1-1. The county sheriffs have a much larger jurisdiction than your local PD. As a result, they might not get to you as soon as local officers would.
When we called 9-1-1 that evening, the police arrived within a few minutes. Literally, 3-4 minutes. We're very glad our PD responded so quickly. I've heard a few cases from others who have experienced a burglary that law enforcement took 20 minutes...even 2 hours to appear. Ouch. Fail.
While you can't really do much about which law enforcement body serves your community, it's something to consider if you're planning to move or if you're buying a home.
