From 6:00 a.m. on 02/09/2023 through 6:00 a.m. on 02/10/2023, MPD received 404 calls for service. This number does not include parking complaints or 911 misdials. A breakdown of the calls for service per district is as follows: Central (74), East (65), Midtown (59), North (88), South (39), West (61), and Other (24). "Other" is used for calls that either do not have a sector or the sector is not in the City. This would be used in the case of one of our officers assisting another law enforcement agency.
Priority calls only from 9:41am to 11:10am, 3:00pm to 4:35pm, and 4:55p to 6:10pm due to a high volume of crashes and stuck vehicles on snowy and icy roads.
