Honestly, this seems completely reasonable, and I'll bet every city has this.
There are already no-go zones for police without significant back-up available. Like in Skid Row. Anywhere where the cartels or gangs are in total control, the EMTs would be fucking crazy to go down there without police support, and the police won't go down there without above average support.
I don't even think the blacklist is the problem. The issue is why you need a blacklist in the first place. Your city has so utterly devolved and has become so crime infested that the cops and EMT's can't traverse places already.
As with counter-insurgency, you need to be able to get out and walk unmolested in an area before you can claim it's secure. If you can't get out of your cars, can't stop, or get attacked, then you need to flood that area with security forces until you can.
But because it's Seattle, that's not going to happen. This is Criminalism at work.
