Calls for Service
In 2024 our Patrol Division answered 53,329 calls for service . Calls for service consist of all 9-1-1 calls, non-emergency calls to police dispatch, along with self-generated calls such as motor vehicle stops and property checks.
As highlighted earlier in this report, increased visibility in our patrol division was a main priority in 2024. That increased visibility led to major reductions in several key categories which resulted in a safer community. The first major reduction due to our increased visibility was in the area of motor vehicle fatalities. In 2024, there was a reduction of traffic fatalities by 40%. Any reduction in this number is a positive, but to nearly reduce those numbers in half is a direct correlation on how visibility and enforcement aid in those reductions. The second large reduction was in the area of property crimes and non-violent offenses. Residential burglaries were down 28%, theft was down 12%, and shoplifting offenses remained the same. Robbery cases were also down over 50%. These statistics demonstrate the departments concerted interest in public safety and that our high visibility enforcement efforts are making our community a safer place to live
