2024 in Review
Before we get too far into 2025, let's take a quick look back at 2024.
Here are the call stats for the year:
- 30,210 hang ups. We’re not saying it’s Camas, but that’s as many hang-ups as their entire population. (We’ll happily call Camas—or anyone—back anytime!)
- 65,582 Outbound calls. From tow trucks to transfer calls. If every call was a hot dog, we could sell one to every single fan at a sold-out Seahawks game. (Was it the hot dog or the price that got you?)
- 157,743 311 & Admin calls. If every call was a step, we'd be able to walk from downtown Vancouver to the top of Mount St Helens. (Give or take...we didn't actually measure this.)
- 233,636 911 calls. Spread out evenly, that's a call every 2 minutes and 15 seconds, 24/7 for the year. (Sorry guys. That's a lot of hurt.)
- 391,379 total inbound calls. Line up that many Fred Meyer shopping carts end-to-end and they would stretch from Vancouver to the Boeing field. (And we might only get half of them returned to the corral...)
- 488,998 Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) events created. (In a shocking coincidence, that's also the exact number of caffeinated beverages our dispatchers consumed in 2024.)
Here's to a happy and safe 2025!
