Warren v. District of Columbia[1] (444 A.2d. 1, D.C. Ct. of Ap. 1981) is a District of Columbia Court of Appeals case that held that the police do not owe a specific duty to provide police services to citizens based on the public duty doctrine.

In that case it was negligence/slow response of the police (if I read the case correctly).

In this case the cops were SPECIFICALLY ORDERED not to respond.

The Warren case may have been different had the DC Mayor called the precinct ant told it specifically to ignore the 911 call.

Or Castle Rock v. Gonzales. Although there are monetary damages here.
