Do the math and check me. That's more than one call a minute every week 24/7, which is 1080 minutes.
56 car accidents per week just in city limits! That's insane!!!
5:21
I get every 6.5 minutes.
1090 divided by 7 days is 155.71
155.71 divided by 24 hours is 6.488
Its no longer sad...its sickening and we need to hold those in charge - ACCOUNTABLE!
557, 7 days x 24 hours = 168 hours. 168 x 60 minutes -10,080 minutes in a week. 1090 calls in 1080 minutes...
First figure your number of minutes....then ÷ the average number of crimes into the minutes.
24 hours X 60 minutes X 7 days = 10080 minutes.
10080 minutes ÷ by 1091 crimes = one phone call every 9.24 minutes
I stand corrected, 10:59! But one every 10 minutes is still too many. We need 20 officers on the clock to handle that many at least. How many are on the clock at any given time?
Until the math kerfuffle with this posting, I did not realize these reports are a CALL FOR SERVICE, not a CRIME REPORT per se. So IMO the report is misleading I broke it down into what I feel is a crime and your definition could well be different. I believe we can agree that not all the listed calls were crimes. Some calls are numerous calls pertaining to one actual crime
NON Crime Calls
Alarms 44 (Often there is no crime involved)
Animal complaint 25 (very few are actually criminal)
Assist other agencies 22 (other agencies would be reporting crime if involved)
Court assignment 5
Field Interviews/Suspension 87
Followup 57
Haz Mat 1
Info/Insurance 1
Juv runaway 10
MV Accident 56
Mental Subject/ Suicide 8 (could be crime if others lives are in danger)
Missing people 2 (adults usually with Alzheimer's but could be crime related)
Phone/911 Hang up 5
Property/Lost Found 11

This is THE CALL FOR SERVICE register. There is a call into police station, averaging every 9.2 minutes, not a crime reported every 9.2 minutes.
