Oswego, NY: Police, Fire & EMS Scanner Activity

CNY Signal logged 525 radio calls in Oswego over the last 30 days, an average of 17.5 a day, and 808 calls over the last 90 days. That is 12th out of the 69 Central New York municipalities we currently cover.

Ambulance work dominates the Oswego feed. EMS accounts for 61.9 percent of the last 30 days, where the regional figure is 48.2 percent. The 13.7 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates Oswego from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs Fire 7 percent, Law enforcement under 1 percent and General radio traffic 30.7 percent.

The Oswego radio day runs late. Its heaviest hour is 9 p.m., holding 7.9 percent of everything logged over 90 days, and Thursday carries the most of any weekday at 17.3 percent. Things are thinnest in the 12 a.m. hour.

One call type carries Oswego more than the rest: medical call, 431 times in 90 days, or 77 percent of everything we could classify there. Behind it come fire response (15), alarm (14), welfare check (11) and fire alarm (10).

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 Oswego rather than period over period trends.
