999 and 101 data past 5 years

Request

I would like to know the amount of 999 calls, and the amount of 101 calls made to SYP each yearover the past 5 years.

Response

I approached the administrator for South Yorkshire Police's Incident Management System. The Smart system records the majority of calls to South Yorkshire Police requiring the specific deployment of police resources, whether reported by members of the public via 999 or 101 or 'happened upon' by officers and staff in the course of their duties. The log runs as a running commentary of an incident as it unfolds and has limited search capability. They have provided me with the following:

Volume of 999 calls – 1,420,754

Volume of 101 calls – 1,584,155
