Calls for Service

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes when you hear about police calls for service or see something posted in the police blotter? These terms may sound official and intimidating, but they're actually just part of the everyday operations of law enforcement agencies. 


Police calls for service are requests for assistance from the police made by the public or other agencies. This can include anything from reporting a crime in progress to asking for help with a non-emergency situation. When someone dials 911 or the non-emergency police line, they are essentially making a call for service. The police then respond to these calls based on the priority level and urgency of the situation.



The police blotter, on the other hand, is a log or record of all the incidents and calls for service that the police department has responded to. It's essentially a public record of police activities in a given area. The information in the police blotter can include the date and time of the incident, the nature of the call, any actions taken by the police, and the outcome of the situation. It's a way for the community to stay informed about what's happening in their neighborhood and for the police department to keep track of their activities.

So next time you see something in the police blotter or hear about police calls for service, remember that it's just a regular part of the job for law enforcement officers. They're there to help keep our communities safe and respond to all sorts of situations, big or small. And now that you know a little bit more about what goes on behind the scenes, you can feel more informed and connected to the work that our police officers do every day.
