Second, a significant increase was observed for violent crime calls. This finding was counter to some of the initial studies using CFS **data** to examine trends in aggravated assaults (Ashby, 2020; Mohler et al., Table 3 Interrupted time series analysis using ARIMA models. 17.53*** 2020) after the initial onset of COVID-19. This discrepancy could be due to measurement differences as our measure also included shootings in addition to different types of assaults. However, these initial studies only examined trends until April or mid-May of 2020 and were perhaps unable to account for longer term effects of the pandemic. For example, recent research found an increase in gun violence from the beginning of the pandemic through March 2021 across several U.S. states, including Texas generally and the Houston region specifically, when compared to the same time-period the year prior. The increases in gun violence were attributed to both prolonged psychological distress and increased gun sales resulting from the pandemic (Ssentongo et al., 2021). The current results also suggest that COVID-19 was associated with increased demands for police responses to violence, even after the initial wave of the virus. Third, the findings indicated that officers were engaged in more frequent self-initiated patrol activities compared to the pre-pandemic data. This increase remained after the death of George Floyd (when compared to pre-pandemic data), but at a lower rate. These observed changes to proactive patrol could also be attributed to changes in the routine activities of citizens. Again, the **data** showed that three of the reactive call types significantly decreased post-pandemic and another three reactive call types experienced no changes in frequency. As Ashby (2020) noted, a reduction in reactive CFS could create additional time for officers to focus on other tasks, such as proactivity. The current results may also lend further support to the findings from Lum, Koper, et al. (2020) demonstrating how proactivity is often manifested as generalized patrol even after the pandemic, as well as Maskály et al. (2021) results showing increases in directed or extra patrols since COVID-19. While there was initial concern that the pandemic may have necessitated a move to precautionary policing, a recent survey revealed that citizens are not supportive of reducing preventative patrol even during the pandemic . In this regard, decreases in reactive demands for police services coupled with citizen expectations of police services during the pandemic could account for this increase.
