Jefferson, NY: Police, Fire & EMS Scanner Activity

CNY Signal logged 109 radio calls in Jefferson over the last 30 days, an average of 3.6 a day, and 109 calls over the last 90 days. That is 37th out of the 69 Central New York municipalities we currently cover.

Ambulance work dominates the Jefferson feed. EMS accounts for 52.3 percent of the last 30 days, where the regional figure is 48.2 percent. The 4.1 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates Jefferson from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs Fire 18.3 percent, Law enforcement none logged and General radio traffic 29.4 percent.

Activity in Jefferson peaks across the middle of the day, at the 2 p.m. hour, which takes 9.2 percent of the last 90 days. Monday is the busiest day of the week at 21.1 percent. Things are thinnest in the 3 a.m. hour. Weekends account for only 22 percent of the Jefferson total against the 28.6 percent an even week would give, making this a weekday heavy town.

One call type carries Jefferson more than the rest: medical call, 57 times in 90 days, or 74 percent of everything we could classify there. Behind it come fire response (17), burglary (1), fire alarm (1) and lift assist (1).

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 Jefferson rather than period over period trends.
