Public Information
The police department logged 24,797 total incidents for 2003, a reduction of 214 incidents from 2002. 60% of these incidents were calls for service, which were up almost 9% from 2002. 25% of total incidents were logged by officer proactivy (Patrol Initiated). Directed patrol activity accounted for 12% of total incidents. These incidents find police personnel working on assigned activity (assigned traffic enforcement locations, traffic and security posts and patrols, etc.) The remaining incidents were for other activities such as investigations, community policing and miscellaneous log entries.
Calls for service are the primary responsibility of the entire police department and particularly the Patrol Division. At 60% of total incident activity, these calls consume the bulk of a patrol officer’s time. The remaining time may be used for all other police activities. Calls for service increased slightly by 1,193 calls, 8.7%.
