Domestic Violence, Harassment Calls Top Pennsville Police’s August Call Totals
PENNSVILLE — Pennsville Police Department responded to 1,238 calls for service during August 2026, according to the department’s monthly call-type breakdown covering Aug. 1 through Aug. 31. The tally spans everything from violent and property crime reports to routine traffic stops, medical calls and administrative matters. Please do remember that being logged as a call for service is not the same as a criminal charge, since not every call results in an arrest or citation.
Note from the editor on method: The table below uses Pennsville PD’s own call-type descriptions as closely as possible. Rows are only combined when they are genuine duplicates — the same description appearing under both a legacy numeric code and a newer “L-” code (e.g., “MATTER OF RECORD” under both 9918 and L-MATTER OF REC), or trivial rewordings of the identical call type (e.g., “ASSAULT AGGR” and “AGGRAVATED ASSAULT”).
Related-but-distinct call types the department tracks separately — Driving Under the Influence vs. Driving While Intoxicated, 911 Hang-Up vs. 911 Open Line, Investigation vs. Investigation – Law — are kept as separate lines rather than folded together, so the counts stay true to how Pennsville PD actually categorizes its calls.
