Regular City Council Meeting Monday,January 28,2019 Page 8 Chief Mathwig indicated 2011-2012. Councilmember Groff stated in looking at the chart show decreasing case clear- ance with the comparison of different cities, he was trying to figure out some cor- relation as to why some cities compared to Roseville have lower problems and it does not seem to be a direct correlation. Chief Mathwig indicated it depends on the makeup of the City. Deputy Chief Scheider stated calls are increasing for service. She reviewed a graph of reactive and proactive calls for service (CFS) from 2016 to 2018 and what is driving the increase in calls for service. Chief Mathwig reviewed with the City Council the Roseville Police Department Yearly Priorities. Councilmember Etten stated in the uniform crime report, it was noted there were differences. He wondered what that report looks at that is different from the Ramsey County Dispatch. Deputy Chief Scheider explained the steps taken with the dispatch data. She not- ed the coding is done after the fact by the records technicians, once the reports are submitted, which is why that data is a little different. Councilmember Etten did not know how these interact but because the data is dif- ferent, the answers will be different so statistics could vary from year to year. How data is looked at is important. Deputy Chief Scheider stated that was a good point and there is a lot of data out there to analyze. Mayor Roe stated the question is which data should be looked at from the per- spective of the professionals in the room in terms of the trends that are being seen in the community. Chief Mathwig stated with the calls for service from dispatch, other than the theft from auto, two officers are going to the scene right away to wade through what is happening on scene. Once the scene is sorted out it will be determined if one of- ficer could leave or not. If you look at the 911 report, it appears bleak in Rose- ville. But if the UCR is looked at, Roseville is not as bad. Chief Mathwig noted trends need to be looked at and there are some concerns but the idea of slide 16 is to actually look at the actual case.
