Bend Park & Recreation District and the Bend Police Department have teamed up to create a new online crime map and dashboard that provides information on calls for service at specific parks and recreation facilities in Bend.
The dashboard allows the public to explore the types of calls that Bend Police officers respond to at park locations in Bend, as well as the number of times police officers respond to those locations.
The most common calls for service on Bend Park & Recreation District property are “suspicious circumstances” and “unwanted subject,” followed by “dog complaints.” Juniper Swim & Fitness Center and the adjacent Juniper Park, both regularly patrolled by police, experience the most police calls.
The data hub is available at policedata.bendoregon.gov. At the top of the page, click on “park incidents” to open the dashboard detailing incidents at Bend Park & Recreation facilities.
