Vivek's work on these statistics is entirely volunteer, and we greatly appreciate his efforts. These statistics were previously available on Rockridgeresidents.org, which has now been shut down. Due to workload issues, Vivek is now doing the analysis quarterly instead of monthly.Background on the statistics: These analyses use crime median numbers instead of averages. The median number is the number exactly in the middle of a range of numbers: if the number is 15, the median is 8. Median numbers are affected less than average numbers by temporary spikes or drops.

The number is: 238-3155 This is for reporting ongoing situations; automobile accidents should still be reported directly to the OPD emergency line, 777-3211. The Traffic Division won't respond instantly but they will put reported situations in their queue and will get to your location as soon as they can.
