Case numbers in WHPC#### format (Wheaton Police Case) are the dominant entry type, indicating officers regularly used their case number as the reason string rather than a description. WHPC2400007 — a single case — accounts for 233 searches across the four months, suggesting sustained investigative attention. myoc (122 records) is a consistent but uninterpretable shorthand. spice boys appears 99 times as a freeform reason string, suggesting an ongoing narcotics-related investigation tracked informally across the four-month window.
