Did you ever wonder when you called the Bristol emergency dispatch center how many other folks did so too seeking law enforcement, fire, or medical support? The answer: a lot.
During the month of August, a total of 14,609 calls for service were received of which 2,661 (18%) were 911 calls and 11,948 were 7-digit calls. Of all the incoming calls received, a total of 7,500, or approximately half, resulted in a response.
The Police Department had the majority of responses (87%) which is typical with the remainder being Fire Department EMS calls, fire calls, and fire assists.
The busiest day and time of the month: Wednesday between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. And the busiest day in August - August 25. Race week Thursday. Imagine that.
