JULY 2011 - ROUND-UP

FIRST ASSISTANCE CALL FOR 2011 (Jan 2, 2011) Sunk at Dock

JULY is usually our busiest month, last year (2010) we ran 85 assistance calls during the month.  FOR JULY 2011 we had a 7% increase in calls for a total of 91 cases.

On a different note: JULY is also the month in which we have the most BUI tows.  In JULY of 2010 we had a total of 13 BUI related tows, and by the end of JULY of 2010 we had accumulated a total of 30 BUI tows for the 2010 season.


JULY 2011 showed a dramatic DECREASE in both the monthly BUI tows, and the "year to date" total at the end of JULY.  We had only 5 BUI related tows this July, resulting in a whopping 60% drop over JULY 2010.  Also our "year to date" BUI total of 20 so far this year, results in a 1/3 decrease over the same time last year.


Based on our 2011 results so far, I would believe the total number of BUI arrests by the Missouri State Highway Patrol (Water Patrol Division) will also show a similar decrease - - - -
