Early Morning Incidents

The Missoula Police Department and the Missoula County Sheriff’s Office were busy with multiple incidents during the early morning hours. A series of suspicious activity reports were scattered across Missoula, spanning neighborhoods from Westside to Rose Park. Additionally, Missoula PD tackled various ‘Medical Standby BLS’ calls, focusing primarily in Rose Park. The ‘Medical Transfer’ operations were notable in the Heart of Missoula area with multiple occurrences.

Afternoon Concentrations

The afternoon saw a surge in reports of ‘Suspicious Activity’ across several areas, including Two Rivers and the university district, hinting at a larger pattern of concerns. More benign incidents like ‘Parking/Junk Vehicle Complaints’ and ‘Found Property’ were also handled, primarily by MPD. However, ‘Accident – No Injury’ instances were significantly noted in western neighborhoods.

Evening Patterns

Late into the evening, the focus shifted towards public safety with an escalation in ‘Structure Fires’ and ‘Wildlands Fire’ responses in areas lacking specific neighborhood information. ‘Medical Transfers’ continued to be a significant activity, heavily present in the Westside region. Also, the frequency of ‘Disturbance’ calls spiked during these later hours, often necessitating swift law enforcement responses in multiple regions like the University District and Westside.

Summary Stats and Trends

The Westside neighborhood showed a high frequency of various incidents, ranging from ‘Suspicious Activity’ and ‘Theft’ to several ‘Accident’ related calls. It was the most incident-heavy location based on the day’s data. Interestingly, areas often not labeled (null) reported critical incidents such as ‘Accident – Injury’ and large-scale ‘Wildlands Fire’, suggesting unreported locations might be points of concern.
