The total reflects a 6.4% decrease from August’s 5,031 calls, signaling a moderate slowdown in overall activity across the city.

The decline in arrests, traffic stops, and disorderly conduct incidents points to a quieter month for enforcement-related activity. However, the uptick in vehicle crashes—rising by 33 incidents—may indicate shifting driving conditions or increased roadway congestion typical of seasonal changes.
Likewise, medical calls increased by 18, reflecting the ongoing partnership between Blaine’s police officers, emergency responders, and Allina Health EMS in addressing urgent public health and safety needs.
These fluctuations highlight the dynamic nature of public safety operations in Blaine and the department’s continued responsiveness to both emergency and non-emergency situations.
According to the Blaine Police Department, monthly data is compiled through its computer-aided dispatch system, which assigns a single code per call. However, officials note that “some calls involve more than one violation, and certain incidents may be reclassified after additional investigation.”
The city maintains a strong commitment to transparency and community trust, making these reports publicly accessible to ensure residents remain informed about local safety trends and departmental workload.
