How Busy Have Orange Police Been?

Call volume and criminal arrests are down from the previous month, but there was a slight increase in robberies and DWIs.

The number of calls for service dropped by nearly 900 from January to February, from 2,958 to 2,075. February's call volume equates to about 74 calls per day (2,075 calls / 28 days).
