Looks like we have another convert to the anti-gun control crowd. You just found out the police aren't obligated to protect you, which the NRA has been trying to publicize for decades.
A big dog is one solution, if the apartment will allow it.
Another solution: Call the fire department. (I got this from a fireman). Tell them there's a fire, and they'll be there within five minutes, with sirens going.
Another one, which is actually a joke, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it:
1. Call 911 and apprise them of the situation. Listen to their garbage about how no cops are available.
2. If no one shows up, call 911 back, and say "Take your time. I just shot that bastard six times, and he's dead."
3. Cops will show up within three or four minutes. When one says, "I thought you said you shot the intruder," you say "I thought you said no one was available to come out here."
You're welcome.
