I had not visited the on-line B’game arrest website in some time, but a week ago I noticed January was shaping up to be a crime-ridden month. I waited through yesterday to assemble the monthly total which worked out as there were three arrests yesterday. The 2025 annual totals are here and tally to 1,240 including traffic violations. Not including traffic stuff, our January 2026 total was 83 composed of mostly single charge arrests, but a few double and triple charges. Here is the breakdown from BPD’s site:
