Out of the 179 topics, there were more than 15,000 inquiries of 173 of those topics last year. Of the 15,000 views, 329 went on to make “Service Requests” or a specific request for information or report a condition to the city for follow-up. Many of these requests initiated cases by the city’s Code Enforcement division.
In 2010, the top inquiries were for the police department and violations bureau, followed closely by recreation department questions, primarily about the pool. The city has received some great crime tips and reports of problems that it may not have otherwise known about.
