Most of what crosses the air in Manlius is traffic we do not tag as EMS, Fire or Law: 37.3 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 15.8 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates Manlius from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs EMS 17.6 percent, Fire 11.5 percent and Law enforcement 33.6 percent.
