Abstract

For a period of time, professors from the Cleveland State University Department of Mathematics and Department of Sociology have been working closely with the City of Cleveland Police Department. This partnership has resulted in access to police records cataloging all emergency 911 calls for the city since 1995. Here, we share summary graphs and statistics as they relate to calls for service in the years 2001 – 2003 throughout the city, by district, and priority. We also discuss modeling approaches that can be used with students in second, or more advanced, courses in statistics to explore predicting the number of calls for service.
