MILLBURY POLICE DEPARTMENT<br />
General Activity<br />
A more specific compilation of data, (not all of which is reportable under NIBRS), results<br />
from the combination of: arrests, accidents, calls for service, citations, incidents/investigations,<br />
and summonses. The statistics below represent data from the 2009, 2010, and 2011. The<br />
statistics below list the yearly activity totals, (within the entire town), balanced against the mall<br />
activity. This demonstrates, more accurately, the impact the mall has on a police force which has<br />
decreased since 2008.<br />
Calls for Service<br />
Calls for service are the calls generated which make up the daily log. A call may come in<br />
by phone, E911, the radio, or someone walking in to the lobby. Calls for service, even if it does<br />
not involve a crime, can be time consuming for both the officer and dispatcher, as citizens may<br />
have police or records related questions. The overall yearly and mall calls have remained fairly<br />
consistent over the past few years; however, arrests, incident reports, and criminal complaints<br />
which result from a call for service, have risen in past years. Calls for service represented<br />
approximately 12.3% - 13.4% of the calls over the past three years. I wrote a no trespass policy<br />
to address issues at the mall in 2010 that helped reduce the incidents at the mall since it’s’<br />
implementation.<br />

Arrests statistics compiled based on in-custody arrests. In other words, an arrest number<br />
is assigned when a person is taken into physical custody, booked, and bailed or brought to court.<br />
There were 236 arrests during 2011. Over the course of the last three years, the number of<br />
arrests has ranged from 236 - 257. The arrests occurring at the mall have represented 28.8% to<br />
38.5% of the yearly arrests.<br />
