New Haven, NY: Police, Fire & EMS Scanner Activity

New Haven is a quiet town on the scanner. We logged 35 radio calls there over the last 30 days, roughly 1.2 a day, and 93 across the last 90. That is 61st out of the 69 Central New York municipalities we currently cover.

Most of what crosses the air in New Haven is traffic we do not tag as EMS, Fire or Law: 62.9 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 41.4 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates New Haven from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs EMS 28.6 percent, Fire 5.7 percent and Law enforcement 2.9 percent.

The New Haven radio day runs late. Its heaviest hour is 5 p.m., holding 11.8 percent of everything logged over 90 days, and Tuesday carries the most of any weekday at 23.7 percent. Things are thinnest in the 4 a.m. hour. Weekends account for only 21.5 percent of the New Haven total against the 28.6 percent an even week would give, making this a weekday heavy town.

One call type carries New Haven more than the rest: medical call, 27 times in 90 days, or 45 percent of everything we could classify there. Behind it come domestic complaint (6), vehicle crash (5), fire response (3) 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 New Haven rather than period over period trends.
