NONCRIMINAL CALLS DOMINATE

The Tucson Police Department handled 989 calls made to 911 on Oct. 20.

In the first nine months of the year, the department averaged 920 reports on Fridays.

Noncriminal calls take up a big chunk of officers’ time.

On Oct. 20, roughly two-thirds of the reports were noncriminal calls for checks on welfare, disturbances, false alarms and other matters.

Officers responded to a similar percentage of noncriminal reports in the first nine months of this year.

The most common offenses cited on Oct. 20 were traffic violations and property crimes, also the case for the first nine months of the year.

Violent crime – homicide, robbery, rape and aggravated assault – accounted for 2 percent of reports Oct. 20, twice the average for the first nine months of the year.

Citizen Online Archive, 2006-2009

This archive contains all the stories that appeared on the Tucson Citizen's website from mid-2006 to June 1, 2009.

In 2010, a power surge fried a server that contained all of videos linked to dozens of stories in this archive. Also, a server that contained all of the databases for dozens of stories was accidentally erased, so all of those links are broken as well. However, all of the text and photos that accompanied some stories have been preserved.

For all of the stories that were archived by the Tucson Citizen newspaper's library in a digital archive between 1993 and 2009, go to Morgue Part 2
