Bridgeport, NY: Police, Fire & EMS Scanner Activity

CNY Signal logged 223 radio calls in Bridgeport over the last 30 days, an average of 7.4 a day, and 455 calls over the last 90 days. That is 23rd out of the 69 Central New York municipalities we currently cover.

Most of what crosses the air in Bridgeport is traffic we do not tag as EMS, Fire or Law: 53.8 percent of the last 30 days, against 21.5 percent regionally. That is typically unit to unit and dispatch chatter rather than a distinct incident type. The 32.3 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates Bridgeport from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs EMS 27.8 percent, Fire 17.9 percent and Law enforcement under 1 percent.

Activity in Bridgeport peaks across the middle of the day, at the 2 p.m. hour, which takes 7.5 percent of the last 90 days. Monday is the busiest day of the week at 19.3 percent. Things are thinnest in the 5 a.m. hour.

One call type carries Bridgeport more than the rest: medical call, 118 times in 90 days, or 45.7 percent of everything we could classify there. Behind it come fire response (42), rescue response (24), fire alarm (15) and alarm (12).

Counted from the CNY Signal scanner archive, not an agency call log. Volume tracks how much of the time our receivers were up as well as real activity, so we publish shares, peaks and rankings for Bridgeport rather than period over period trends.
