What these numbers mean
These are measurements of captured radio activity, not an official police call log or crime report. Key-ups count observed transmission starts on each feed; patched or simulcast traffic may appear more than once. Transcript segments are pieces of audio processed for captions, not separate incidents.
Tone activations include dispatches, updates and slowdowns. BOLO notices count Telegram notifications, not unique people or cases, and are included in the Telegram total. Audio analyzed includes capture padding and overlapping feeds; it is not pure speech airtime. Radio IDs are not an officer count.
Dates run from midnight to midnight in America/New_York, including daylight saving changes. Counts reflect what our receivers captured; complete network coverage is not guaranteed. No individual radio IDs, unit associations or officer-location histories are published here.
