Eugene/Springfield Crime

Numbers are derived from calls published on the EPD and SPD dispatch logs.

Note that not all calls are published (e.g. Suicidal Subject), not all calls result in dispatch of an officer, and not all calls are actionable (i.e. an officer is dispatched, but the person/problem is not found).

  • Interesting data. The graph at the top shows a trend downwards of all non-traffic calls (albeit it's only a slight trend), and that's good. On the other hand, a bunch of specific crimes seem to have been massively exacerbated by the pandemic.

    What interests me is that Springfield seems to be pretty flat on most measures, though their numbers are all pretty high for the size of the city.
