NCST REPORTS STATISTICS: CALLS FOR SERVICE

Have you ever wondered what the most common type of call is for our emergency services? How this year is stacking up to previous years?

NCST’s staff has requested, received and processed the data from the 911 center to provide the statistical information below.

How to navigate the information below.

Nature Codes – All calls for service processed and dispatched by Coweta County 911 are assigned a “Nature Code”. This is a short descriptor used to classify the call. These may change as units arrive at a call and more information is gathered. For instance the fire dept may be dispatched to a fire alarm, however when they get there they confirm there’s a residence on fire – in that case the call’s nature code may be changed to single family structure fire. In total our database of calls consist of 207 separate Nature Codes, with some being used only for administrative reasons. These Nature Codes have been removed from the results as they don’t show useful information for the community – examples include, hospital diversions, rear seat checks, radar calibrations, and PR events. Therefore the combined report below tracks 174 separate nature codes.

Service – There are two “services” that respond to calls for service, “LAW,” and “FIRE.” Just like it sounds, if the call is dispatched to, for instance, the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office, the call is coded as “LAW.” In the list below we’ve categorized calls by these, but also added “MIXED” as there are certain types of calls that both FIRE and LAW are dispatched to every time. It’s important to note that the numbers below can include multiple calls for the same incident. For instance, a serious accident on Bullsboro Dr inside the city limits may see an entry for NPD ( to work the wreck ), CCSO ( if they are close they will respond to help ), NFD ( to work the incident ), and CCFD ( all calls that require EMS also generate a CCFD dispatch as CCFD operates all EMS units in both the county and the city. ) That’s 4 calls for service, or dispatches, for 1 incident.

ACPD – This number is the Average Calls for service Per Day for each Nature Code. This is helpful to show as the 2023 numbers are YTD – with months remaining. This is just the number of calls divided by the number of days in the year, or in the case of 2023, the number of days into the year at the time of report generation.
