Mexico, NY: Police, Fire & EMS Scanner Activity

CNY Signal logged 128 radio calls in Mexico over the last 30 days, an average of 4.3 a day, and 296 calls over the last 90 days. That is 30th out of the 69 Central New York municipalities we currently cover.

Most of what crosses the air in Mexico is traffic we do not tag as EMS, Fire or Law: 62.5 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 41 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates Mexico from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs EMS 32 percent, Fire 5.5 percent and Law enforcement none logged.

The Mexico radio day starts early. The 9 a.m. hour is the single busiest, at 8.8 percent of the last 90 days, and Tuesday leads the week at 19.6 percent. Things are thinnest in the 5 a.m. hour.

One call type carries Mexico more than the rest: medical call, 60 times in 90 days, or 36.1 percent of everything we could classify there. Behind it come domestic complaint (20), fire response (13), traffic stop (9) and vehicle crash (8).

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 Mexico rather than period over period trends.
