Calls for Service

Calls for service to law enforcement agencies generally include calls to “911” for emergency assistance and may also include calls to non-emergency numbers. Generally, “311” data is not included in calls for service data. Calls for service data is typically maintained in law enforcement computer-aided dispatch systems. As agencies make calls for service or CAD data available, consideration must be given to revealing information about sensitive crimes (such as domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking), discouraging unauthorized persons from going to the scene of an incident, jeopardizing investigations, and managing the safety risks to officers. Despite these considerations, calls for service or CAD data can be extremely useful in helping the community understand and visualize the demands for police service and how the agency responds.

The agencies below have all released data regarding calls for service, which may or may not include all types of calls, including sensitive calls as well as emergency and non-emergency calls.
