Every week, the Pasadena Police Department posts a log of every call for service its officers handled — every traffic stop, alarm, disturbance, and crime report, with the date, time, type of call, and the block where it happened. It is the most complete public picture of police activity in Pasadena, and starting today, AltaPasa will summarize it here each week.
This first report covers Saturday, October 31 through Friday, November 6, 2026: 2,001 calls in seven days, about 286 a day. You can read the log itself on the city’s website — from the CRIME menu, choose Calls for Service — or in the Police Department’s Support Services / Records section. The direct file is here (PDF).
The week in numbers
The busiest days were Tuesday, November 3 — Election Day — and Thursday, November 6, with 315 calls each, followed by Halloween — Saturday, October 31 — with 307. The quietest day was Sunday, November 1, with 224.
Most calls are not crimes. The week’s most common entries were traffic stops (225), “extra service” calls such as extra patrols and checks (217), transient-related calls (179), and disturbance calls logged as “415” — California’s disturbing-the-peace code (144, plus 37 more for loud music and 19 for family disturbances). Burglar alarms accounted for 71 calls, welfare checks 53, and mental-health-related calls 38, including calls logged under the state’s 5150 hold provision.
The serious calls
Robberies: none. The log records no robbery calls all week. The closest entry is a single robbery panic alarm late Thursday night, November 5, on the 500 block of Covington Place — an alarm activation, not a reported robbery.
Burglaries: 12, not counting alarms. Seven were vehicle burglaries. The two home burglaries were on the 200 block of South Bonnie Avenue (Wednesday, November 4, 2:39 a.m.) and the 600 block of North Mentor Avenue (Thursday, November 6, 6:53 a.m.). One commercial burglary was reported on the 500 block of South Lake Avenue (Wednesday, November 5, 11:55 a.m.), and two more were logged simply as burglaries, on the 100 block of West California Boulevard and the 200 block of East Del Mar Boulevard, both on Sunday, November 2.
Batteries: 23. Domestic violence: 6 calls, plus 19 family-disturbance calls — 25 family and domestic calls in all. Theft: 49 petty thefts, 9 grand thefts, and 9 identity thefts. DUI: 5 arrests or reports, including one at East Colorado Boulevard and North Raymond Avenue late Thursday night and one at North Madison Avenue and East Corson Street on Sunday night.
Two calls were logged as death reports — Tuesday, November 3, on the 1800 block of North Fair Oaks Avenue, and Wednesday, November 4, on the 500 block of East Villa Street. The log gives no further detail, and we won’t speculate. One call reported a weapon being brandished on Halloween morning at Bellefontaine Street and South Pasadena Avenue. And on Thursday night, the log records one license-plate reader “hit” at West Woodbury Road and Lincoln Avenue — the automated readers AltaPasa covered earlier this week.

How to read this log
A call for service is a report, not a confirmed crime, an arrest, or a charge. Some calls turn out to be unfounded; others are officers’ own activity, like traffic stops and extra patrols. Addresses are published at block level to protect privacy, and the log lists no names. What it does show, week after week, is where the department’s time actually goes — and how much of it is disturbances, alarms, welfare checks, and people in crisis rather than crime in progress.
