Guide to the calls for service report
- The first page of calls does not have a Station/Beat number listed. These calls had non-verifiable addresses and this section of the report has default columns for such calls.
- Station/Beat numbers correspond with the sector map below. (CCSO sectors include 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600.) Sector 600 is the Town of Culpeper; the Culpeper Town Police Department is the lead law enforcement agency for this sector and the Sheriff’s Office has jurisdiction in the town.
- On page 15, Section 810 starts a listing for Culpeper Town Police calls for service and is not part of the CCSO calls for service total.
- “Self Init” is a column for self-initiated actions by deputies reported to the dispatch center.
- “CFS” is the number of calls for service that came into the dispatch center for a particular type of incident (nature code).
- “Total” is the total number of calls for service and self-initiated calls combined for a particular type of incident (nature code).
- “% Total” is the percentage of calls for a type of incident (nature code) as part of the total calls for service in the sector.
- “Ave Disp Time” is the average time between a call for service coming into the dispatch center and a dispatcher dispatching a patrol unit. This is the average dispatch time for a specific type of incident / nature code coming into the center. The average dispatch time for incidents could be dependent on other incidents occurring simultaneously as other calls coming into the dispatch center or on incidents already being handled by deputies.
- “Ave Resp Time” is the average time it takes for a deputy to respond to the scene of the call for the specific type of incident (nature code). Three to five Sheriff’s Office units are on duty at any given time. Response times may depend on how many deputies are on duty at the time a call is received, how many incidents they are already handling and how far they have to travel to reach an address.
- “Ave Scene Time” is the average amount of time a unit is on scene for a specific type of call (nature code).
- “Tot Call Time” is the total, aggregate amount of time spent on incidents for the type of call (nature code) listed.
- “Ave Call time” is the average amount of time for the type of call (nature code) listed. Call times start when a call comes into the dispatch canter and end when a deputy has cleared the incident.
