Those increases come as overall call volume, including domestic violence, burglaries and other emergencies, continued to decrease in 2024.聽

人兽性交's review is based on the department's annual reports going back to 2018, the earliest year data is available on the city's website. Here are some key findings:

Drug, animal complaint investigations up

One of the bigger recent increases in the department's 2024 stats is drug investigations. There were 231 in 2024, the most for the department since a high of 305 in 2019.

While speaking to 人兽性交 about the department's statistics, new Auburn Police Chief Matthew Androsko cautioned against reading too closely into year-to-year differences in its number of drug investigations simply because some take more time and resources than others. For example, the Finger Lakes Drug Task Force arrested 16 people and seized more than 175,000 blue fentanyl pills in聽August 2022. But the investigation, which involved a drug ring stretching as far as California, began in April 2021.聽

Androsko, who led the task force during that investigation, said it may have counted as one but it led to more arrests than lower-level busts, which count as more investigations.聽

"When you're doing one of those and it's at a local agency like our size, that is your investigation and that's going to eat up months and months and months of work," he said.

"However, it's very fruitful in the end, because you normally end up with a large (drug) seizure."

Androsko had no explanation for another increase in 2024: animal complaint investigations.

There were 222 that year, the highest number in the data available. Animal complaints been rising steadily since 2020, when there were 130.聽

Domestic violence, burglary investigations down

While the department's statistics continued trending upward in select areas in 2024, several others are going in the opposite direction.

Domestic violence investigations have steadily gone from a recent high of 1,474 in 2021 to 920 last year. Burglary investigations plummeted to 35 last year after years of drops from a high of 133 in 2019. Similarly, robbery investigations reached a new recent low of seven in 2024 and larceny investigations dropped to 374, almost half of the 710 that took place in 2020.

Androsko said he's glad those numbers have been dropping, but he doesn't necessarily feel the department has dealt with fewer of those investigations.

"Seeing it on paper is one thing, but feeling it on the street is a different thing," he said.

When it comes to some of those crimes, the police chief continued, the department often deals with serial offenders. But until they're sentenced and incarcerated, they may commit more crimes in the interim. As a result, it can take up to a couple years for their absence to be felt in the department's statistics. Androsko also credited his officers for their work on those crimes.

"We're still being diligent in our efforts to obviously reduce them more," he said.

Overall calls for service continue going down

The year 2023 saw the fewest calls for service to Auburn police in more than a decade, and that number dropped further last year.

There were 28,928 emergency calls in 2024, the fewest since 23,151 were logged in 2012. In the years between, the number hovered closer to 35,000.聽

Androsko said the drop could be connected to the city's officer shortage, which has been ongoing for years. Many calls are "self-initiated" by officers experiencing issues in the community, the police chief explained, such as traffic stops, warrant and property checks, and more. So more officers would mean more of those proactive calls while others respond to ones from the community.聽

The department typically has at least five patrol officers per shift in the winter, Androsko said, and six in the summer. His department is currently seven patrol officers short, and some retirements are anticipated over the next year. Noting that some recruits are currently in training, he said he hopes to fill all the vacancies within the next year or two.聽

The police chief stressed that officers are still handling all the calls they receive daily.

"Our officers have been doing what they've always done and giving citizens the quality of work that we've always done to protect them over the years," he said. "It's not like that has changed."

Still, Androsko is glad to see the drops in total calls and select crimes.

"Obviously the work that these officers are putting in is showing, and hopefully we can continue to do that," he said. "When we get back up to full staff, which I'm fully confident we will at some point, hopefully we'll continue to decrease calls because we'll be more proactive, so hopefully there will also be a decrease in the violent ones."

Suicide attempt, overdose investigations down

Another area of decline in 2024 was mental health and related investigations.

Suicide attempt investigations have gone from 221 in 2018 to 152 in 2024, and overdose investigations from 136 in 2019 to 99 in 2024. Mental health investigations reached a new recent low last year, at 291. Androsko praised the department's crisis intervention work with agencies like the聽Liberty Resources Mobile Crisis Team聽and the Cayuga County Community Mental Health Center.

"That means that the police and the mental health workers and the social workers are doing our job as a team," he said. "And obviously, we're seeing the results."
