Several representatives from the Springfield Police Department, including each neighborhood’s PAR (Police Area Representative) were at the February NAC meeting to present the 2018 top 10 dispatched calls for service for each neighborhood. Below are the definitions of common calls for service and each neighborhood’s numbers.

Check well-being

Person not answering their phone or door, family/friend unable to contact them, subject laying on the ground unknown problem.

Check a building

Home, business or structure is in a suspicious state (window/door may be open or tampered with or something out of place, light on or off when shouldn’t be). If a person is doing something at a building the call type would be check a person/burglary in progress/vandalism, theft, etc. and not check a building.

Check a person

Suspicious activity observed, someone may be in place they are not supposed to be, behavior is out of place such as someone in a neighborhood that does not belong, or if caller believes the behavior is unusual in nature.

Check a vehicle

Suspicious vehicle on street, in neighborhood or within an area. Vehicle is parked somewhere it should not be, possibly vehicular trespassing. Vehicle is suspicious in nature due to VIN scratched off, strange odor. If a person is connected to a suspicious vehicle then it would be another call type. Abandoned vehicle and if It’s just listed as abandoned without any suspicious circumstance then it is a lower priority call and would not be listed as check a vehicle, but Abandoned Vehicle.
