Daily Calls for Service

In a typical year, Walnut Creek PD officers respond to some 46,000 calls for service of all types. That works out to over 3800 calls per month, or around 125 per day. Some investigations are quickly resolved; however, others may go on for months or years. Dispatchers field over 100,000 telephone calls per year, some are life threatening emergencies, others are for cold crimes or community information.

Our ability to provide the public with information is governed by various laws, and some cases and call information simply cannot be published. Street addresses are rounded to the nearest hundred block, and the date and time shown is when the incident or crime was reported to us, not necessarily when it took place.
