129 records (~10.6%) carry a blank reason field.

Burglary dominates the reason logs with roughly 177 records across multiple string variants (“Burglary,” “burglary,” “Burglary/Breaking & Entering -,” and “Attempted Burglary”). Larceny and theft follow with ~114 records across several wordings. Hit-and-run investigations account for another ~83 records. Wanted-person searches — spread across at least six reason-string variants — total roughly 98 records.

Fleeing and eluding appears under at least four spellings (“flee,” “fleeing,” “Fleeing,” “Obstructing the Police (Fleeing/Eluding) -”) totaling ~68 records. Missing and endangered persons account for 31, DUI for 24, trespass 16, stolen vehicle 15, homicide vehicle 15, and suicidal calls 12.

The reason string “assist” (21 records) and a standalone “Stolen” (21) reflect common informal entries alongside the structured Flock category strings — a pattern of mixed free-text and dropdown usage.

Case number 1016 appears as a reason string 14 times, indicating a specific investigation was searched repeatedly across the seven-month window.
