Crime In Salisbury

  1. Do the math and check me. That's more than one call a minute every week 24/7, which is 1080 minutes.

  3. 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

  5. 557, 7 days x 24 hours = 168 hours. 168 x 60 minutes -10,080 minutes in a week. 1090 calls in 1080 minutes...

  6. 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

  7. 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?

    1. 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.

  8. 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
