range
2023
Calls for service for 2023 were only slightly
higher than the total from 2022. While
numbers from 2020 and 2021 were affected
by the pandemic, three of the five highest
months in the last ten years occurred in 2023
(May, June, December). Based on this trend,
2024 will likely have calls for service that
continue to increase.
Case reports (online and officer -created) in
the fourth quarter totaled higher than the
expected range from historical years, but
were lower than the total of 2022. November
and December were both higher, primarily
due to increases in Commercial Burglary,
Malicious Mischief, Auto Theft, and
Shoplifting reports. Based on the expected
trend in calls for service and the case report
numbers in the fourth quarter, 2024 is likely
to see higher than usual case reports as well.
[These charts show the current year (line) as
compared to previous years (rectangles). This
gives perspective as to a normal range as
calculated over the past years.]
