Calls for Service and Available Officers in PSA 305
Over the last several months, CSNA and the Public Safety 305 Committee have had concerns over the number of police officers currently deployed to PSA 305 and the number of calls for service.According to data provided to CSNA by the Metropolitan Police Department's (MPD) Third District, over the 61 day period of September 12, 2008 to November 12, 2008, there were 2,382 calls for service within PSA 305; an average of 39 calls each day.
A "call for service" or "radio run" is defined by MPD as any call that requires some sort of police action. MPD excludes calls for which no location could be identified (between 1 and 3% of all calls) and also Includes/Excludes calls to the Telephone Reporting Unit (reports taken over the phone).
CSNA and the community will discuss these numbers at CSNA'a November Membership meeting, Thursday, November 13, and at the December Public Safety 305 meeting, Tuesday, December 2.
CSNA has also requested deployment numbers - the number of officers available and assigned - for PSA 305, and is awaiting that information from MPD.
