It is my impression that the Sheriff’s department is under staffed and critical incidents are prioritized. I’m impressed by the immediate response by APS.
In my community city officers are quicker response when calling for welfare check where APS could be weeks; over worked and understaffed.
In our county Sheriff’s office there is really not much community policing at all.
So the choice to call APS seems appropriate considering the immediate response.
Since the neighbors were understandably shocked the check in may have been a way to gain information of the state of the situation and get a response on how the neighbors may be able to assist NG going forward without bothering her daughter at that point.

A different neighbor, G B, said there was a large police presence in the area.
“When there was so much police presence with the helicopters and the drones, unbeknownst to us what was going on. I have to say that was a bit disconcerting, but you know, whatever they need do,” Breeding told Newsweek.
She said the neighborhood is typically “quiet.”
