Had to look it up:

**** with 911 being an outlier to their MO. ****

outlier, n
1. One whose domicile lies at an appreciable distance from his or her place of business.

2. A value far from most others in a set of data: “Outliers make statistical analyses difficult” (Harvey Motulsky).

3. Geology. A portion of stratified rock separated from a main formation by erosion.
