For several months I've watched the law enforcement report. Consistantly 10% of the calls are turned into reports. Of all the calls placed by the public only 1 in 10 are worthy of writing a report. What factors into why and when a report is written? And considering the variations in day to day behavior, how can the percentage remain so consistant? Dose anyone(Blueblood maybe?) have an explanation for the consistancy?
