Overall, crime reported to police in all categories fell 20%, with Crimes Against Persons increasing from 47 to 56, Crimes Against Property decreasing from 153 to 110, and Crimes Against Society decreasing from 22 to 12. 

Consistent with crime reported to police in 2024, larceny/theft and fraud cases continue to drive higher crime rates within the community. 

Citizens are encouraged to remain vigilant in their neighborhoods and should secure personal belongings, vehicles, and residences. Please feel free to contact the Police Department for more information on crime prevention strategies for homes and businesses.

Do not provide personal identifying information such as social security numbers and bank account information. Fraudsters will request such things as converting your cash to gift cards or cryptocurrency.  They will identify themselves as government officials or family members. They will demand payment while threatening to stop your benefits or because you have a warrant for your arrest. 

If at any time you remain unsure about a particular phone call or email, please contact the Police Department at 505.662.8222 before sending any personal identifying information or money.
