Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a Call for Service?

     A call for service is an event occurring in or near the City of Salisbury to which one or more Salisbury Police employees must respond to evaluate or take action, or an event that comes to the attention of police or is initiated by police that requires formal documentation (an offense report, supplemental report or accident report)  Examples include a citizen reporting a burglary, a citizen reporting a traffic accident, a citizen reporting an alarm going off, officers finding a stolen vehicle, a detective following up on an investigation, an officer making an arrest, a citizen reporting a neighbor problem or suspicious activity. All calls for service are assigned a unique incident number. Upon investigation, some calls for service are called crimes. Not all police contacts with the public are calls for service, and not all calls for service are crimes.
