Today we remember those who died, those who were injured, those who saved lives, the first responders and the family/friends of those affected on September 11, 2001.
In observance of the federally-recognized September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance, we should consider the challenge to dedicate time to help others in the spirit of service, unity and peace as an ongoing tribute to the victims of 9/11, first responders and those who have joined our armed forces to defend freedom.
9/11/01: A day that we will never forget.
The information contained in my blog is derived from notes provided by MPD Officers-In-Charge (OIC) at the end of their shifts. Most narratives represent early and preliminary information that was gathered by an OIC from those in the field who were actively working cases. The OIC is sharing what they were being told, in the moment. In many instances, facts and circumstances, even the type of crime listed, can change as officers, detectives and investigators continue their work.
From 6:00 a.m. on 09/10/2019 through 6:00 a.m. on 09/11/2019, MPD received 560 calls for service. This number does not include parking complaints or 911 misdials. For purposes of clarification, the following abbreviations are short-hand for race designations: W=White, AA=African American, NA=Native American, H=Hispanic, ME=Middle Eastern, A=Asian, MR=Mixed Race, U=Unknown. MPD shifts are staggered as follows: 1st detail=7 a.m. to 3 p.m., 2nd detail=12 p.m. to 8 p.m., 3rd detail=3 p.m. to 11 p.m., 4th detail=8 p.m. to 4 a.m., 5th detail=11 p.m. to 7 a.m.
To further break down the 560 calls for service for the past 24-hours this is how the calls came in per district: Central (116), East (96), Midtown (88), North (73), South (59), West (79), and Other (49). Other=these are calls for service that either do not have a sector listed or the sector is not in the City. For example, if one of our officers assists another law enforcement agency, their sector is not listed in our districts so therefore it is listed under "other".
