The yearly calls for service and arrests throughout the town have remained fairly<br />
consistent. The allocation of work has tremendously. In the years prior to the mall opening,<br />
officers simply had the town, (mostly residential make-up with several highways), to patrol and<br />
respond to calls. During the last ten years, since the Shoppes at Blackstone Valley opened, the<br />
percentage of time officers are dedicated to working on arrests, incidents, summons, bookings<br />
and paperwork related to the mall has soared, staffing levels have decreased, as well as the time<br />
officer have to perform discretionary traffic enforcement and patrols that would otherwise have<br />
been performed between calls for service.<br />
SUMMARY<br />
In summary, the categories of criminal and non-criminal activity listed above are<br />
beneficial in indentifying crime trends, what time of the day or night criminal activity is<br />
occurring, the impact on various shifts, amount of resources utilized in different areas of town in<br />
response to crime, and for tactical decision-making and strategic planning.
