CFS statistics do not include officer initiated activity, ie., -traffic or parking citations, special enforcement requests, and crime prevention activities. Operationally, the City was originally divided into three geographical- areas for reporting purposes. Each of these -three areas (27A, 2B, 2C) were then divided into Reporting District's (RD's) that were determined by geography, natural dividing lines (ie., major street) or uniqueness of location (ie., Moorpark Cc) I I ege ) . The 2A area is generally described as the downtown area and includes everything west of Virginia Colony and north of Los Angeles Avenue. The 2.B area includes Virginia Colony and covers the area eastward to the city limit. The 2C area is generally everything west of Highway 23 and south of Los Angeles Avenue to the city :Limit. The attached Calls For. Service table and graph reflect that the 2A area received 40 percent (2666 CFS) of all Calls For Service while the 2B and 2C area Calls For Service were 19 (1247 CFS) and 41 (2679 CFS) percent respectively. Staff would also like to note on the attached map that RD #511-6, bordered by Spring, the Arroyo Simi, Park- Lane and Los Angeles is geographically part of the downtown, within the 2A area. Adjusting the statistics to reflect this geographical connection indicates that the 2A area experienced roughly bO percent, of all calls and the 2C area shows adjusted Calls For Service of 30 percent.
