Coon Rapids Police Department Logs 4,343 October Calls, Marking One of the Busiest Months of 2025

COON RAPIDS, Minn. — The Coon Rapids Police Department (CRPD) reported a notably busy month in October 2025, responding to 4,343 calls for service, according to the department’s newly released monthly recap. The total reflects an increase of 294 calls compared to September, underscoring heightened activity across the community as fall transitions toward winter.

The department’s monthly report highlights several major call categories, offering residents a snapshot of CRPD’s workload and the types of incidents most frequently requiring police response.

Traffic Stops Top the List

Traffic enforcement remained the single highest-volume category in October, with officers conducting 1,049 traffic stops. CRPD routinely emphasizes roadway safety, and traffic stops are a key component of addressing speeding, distracted driving, impaired driving, and equipment violations that can lead to crashes or injuries.

Medical Calls a Significant Share of Officer Response

Officers also responded to 540 medical calls, reflecting the department’s dual role as both a public-safety agency and a first responder in medical emergencies. In many cases, police officers arrive before EMS crews and provide immediate stabilization and support at the scene.

Suspicious Person and Domestic Calls Highlight Community Safety Needs

CRPD handled 219 suspicious-person calls, indicating residents’ vigilance in reporting potential threats or unusual behavior. Such calls often result in proactive patrol checks, welfare assessments, or investigations.

Domestic-related incidents also remained a steady and serious component of the department’s workload, with 206 domestic calls reported in October. These calls frequently involve sensitive and urgent situations that require careful, immediate intervention from officers and, at times, coordination with partner agencies and victim-support services.

Property Damage Incidents

The department responded to 149 property-damage calls, a category that typically includes vehicle accidents, hit-and-runs, and other incidents causing damage to personal or public property. As daylight hours decrease in autumn, minor crashes and weather-related incidents often become more common.

Contextualizing the Numbers

If October’s pace were sustained throughout the year, CRPD would respond to more than 52,000 calls annually, consistent with the department’s typical call volume for a city of Coon Rapids’ size. With a population of roughly 63,600 residents, CRPD’s monthly workload demonstrates the scope and scale of services required to support one of Anoka County’s largest communities.

Understanding the Data

CRPD emphasizes that the call types listed in its monthly recap reflect the information available at the time the call is dispatched. Upon arrival, officers may determine that the nature of the incident is different from the initial report. The monthly recap is provided for public awareness and is not meant to represent final investigative outcomes.

Commitment to Public Safety

The department’s October report illustrates the broad range of responsibilities CRPD officers manage daily — from emergency medical response to traffic enforcement, from domestic disturbances to community-driven safety concerns. As Coon Rapids continues to grow and evolve, CRPD says it remains committed to transparency, community engagement, and ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents.
