Elbridge, NY: Police, Fire & EMS Scanner Activity

CNY Signal logged 161 radio calls in Elbridge over the last 30 days, an average of 5.4 a day, and 496 calls over the last 90 days. That is 27th out of the 69 Central New York municipalities we currently cover.

Most of what crosses the air in Elbridge is traffic we do not tag as EMS, Fire or Law: 41 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 19.5 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates Elbridge from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs EMS 16.8 percent, Fire 5.6 percent and Law enforcement 36.6 percent.

Activity in Elbridge peaks across the middle of the day, at the 12 p.m. hour, which takes 6.5 percent of the last 90 days. Monday is the busiest day of the week at 19 percent. Things are thinnest in the 2 a.m. hour. Weekends account for only 22.8 percent of the Elbridge total against the 28.6 percent an even week would give, making this a weekday heavy town.

No single call type dominates Elbridge. Sorted by how often they come up, the ones most likely to cross a scanner there over the last 90 days are medical call (46), vehicle crash (43), domestic complaint (34), traffic stop (25) and assist (24).

Tune a scanner to Elbridge and most of what you hear is Sheriffs Office, which carried 104 of the calls we logged there over the last 90 days. Also on the air are New York State Police, Elbridge Fire Department and Jordan Fire Department.

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 Elbridge rather than period over period trends.
