A word about the blotter – we respond to about 14,000 calls for service annually. Calls for service are usually not in the blotter. We report arrests and crimes as well as serious events that merit the attention of the public. Please refer to Crime Maps for all calls for service, including citizen assists, code enforcement, traffic stops, etc. Be sure to select SHOW ALL in the Map menu.
