Morrisville, NY: Police, Fire & EMS Scanner Activity

Morrisville is a quiet town on the scanner. We logged 47 radio calls there over the last 30 days, roughly 1.6 a day, and 80 across the last 90. That is 53rd out of the 69 Central New York municipalities we currently cover.

Most of what crosses the air in Morrisville is traffic we do not tag as EMS, Fire or Law: 51.1 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 29.6 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates Morrisville from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs EMS 31.9 percent, Fire 17 percent and Law enforcement none logged.

The Morrisville radio day runs late. Its heaviest hour is 6 p.m., holding 10 percent of everything logged over 90 days, and Tuesday carries the most of any weekday at 18.8 percent. Things are thinnest in the 8 p.m. hour. Weekends account for only 25 percent of the Morrisville total against the 28.6 percent an even week would give, making this a weekday heavy town.

One call type carries Morrisville more than the rest: medical call, 29 times in 90 days, or 50.9 percent of everything we could classify there. Behind it come fire alarm (6), fire response (5), rescue response (4) and alarm (3).

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 Morrisville rather than period over period trends.
