Volney, NY: Police, Fire & EMS Scanner Activity

CNY Signal logged 132 radio calls in Volney over the last 30 days, an average of 4.4 a day, and 152 calls over the last 90 days. That is 29th out of the 69 Central New York municipalities we currently cover.

Most of what crosses the air in Volney is traffic we do not tag as EMS, Fire or Law: 45.5 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 24 point gap above the Central New York average is one of the things that separates Volney from its neighbors. The rest of the mix runs EMS 33.3 percent, Fire 21.2 percent and Law enforcement none logged.

The Volney radio day runs late. Its heaviest hour is 9 p.m., holding 13.2 percent of everything logged over 90 days, and Monday carries the most of any weekday at 18.4 percent. Things are thinnest in the 11 p.m. hour. Weekends carry 34.9 percent of the Volney total, above the 28.6 percent an evenly spread week would give, so Saturday and Sunday matter more here than in most of the county.

One call type carries Volney more than the rest: medical call, 46 times in 90 days, or 44.7 percent of everything we could classify there. Behind it come fire response (16), vehicle crash (8), alarm (8) and domestic complaint (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 Volney rather than period over period trends.
