How
busy were we???
Calls
For Service is a good measurement of the overall workload. Calls For Service drives so much of the activity throughout the entire police department.
In 2013 SCPD responded to 104,709 Calls For Service
This is 127 less calls than in 2012, which had 104,836. That is 1 less call every 2.8 days.
Thought you might like to know how we compared to other cities similar in population. We’ll have to use 2012 numbers, because the 2013 info is not available from everyone yet. Here is a chart that compares our activity to other cities similar in size.
