OCEAN CITY – A decrease in calls for service highlighted a monthly report on police activity.
On Wednesday, Ocean City Police Department Chief Ross Buzzuro presented members of the town’s Police Commission with an update on police activity for the month of September.
Buzzuro noted that the department reported a significant decrease in calls for service compared to September 2019 and September 2020.
“You can see there was a fairly significant decrease in calls for service, starting with officer calls, which were reduced by more than 1,000 from September of 2019 to September of 2021 …,” he said. “The better gauge is the 2019 gauge.”
Buzzuro added that citizen calls for service had decreased by 400. And in the top 25 calls for service, traffic stops had decreased by more than 700, disorderly calls had decreased by 360 and citizen assists had decreased by 148, when compared to September 2019.
Fewer “visitors”, fewer calls. I live just off 113 and didn’t see nearly as much traffic as 2019 or before.
Buzz and Co still blowing stats. Whooopie, calls down when no one is here.
