Hello Megan,
You'll need to reach out to the City's municipal court for citation data. I know we have some data about mask calls for service, but am not certain when we began tracking them. I'll reach out to the Communications Unit to see if they can provide that.

Megan,
I've uploaded a record for the APD mask calls for service. You can access the spreadsheet up to two times before you max out and we have to reset the counter. Just let me know if that happens - it's an easy fix. There is a quirk in the system where double clicking the attachment counts as two downloads so just be aware of that.
As I mentioned, you'll want to get with the city's municipal court on citation data.
I'm going to proceed with closing out your request, but you are welcome to reach back out if you have questions or run into a problem accessing the responsive information.
Thank you,
Tara
