Patterns of Police, Fire, and Ambulance Calls-for-Service: scanning the Spatio-Temporal Intersection of Emergency Service Problems

Independent analysis of police, fire, and ambulance calls for service demonstrates common patterns in emergency service activity. Targeted, place-focused interventions have been demonstrated to prevent future problems for emergency services. This research builds on these findings to examine the spatial and temporal intersection of police, fire, and ambulance incidents to explore the potential utility of enhanced collaboration between emergency-first responders.
