The Bangor Police Department Blotter contains many of the incidents of note from the previous month. The purpose of the blotter is to inform our community of where and when our officers engage persons who are purportedly involved in criminal behavior. The blotter includes calls for service that are notably significant, criminal in nature and/or involve an arrest.

The Bangor Police Department responds to a variety of calls for service each day. This blotter includes only a portion of those calls for service.

In some instance the information has been purposely limited to safeguard the identity of the victim.

The Bangor Police Department makes every effort to produce and publish current and accurate data.

September has come and gone and it's starting to really look and feel like fall. Here are our stats for September.

Here is a brief reminder of each category:

📱Calls to Dispatch: Our phone rang
📱Calls for Service: We broke this down into categories based on what was
required for the call (Police, Fire, or EMS).
🚗🚓Traffic Stops: We stopped a vehicle
⚠️Traffic Crashes: Someone crashed a vehicle

📱BCAT Calls for Service: Bangor Community Action Team responds to non-emergency calls and helps connect people to community resources. They assist the community as well as our patrol unit by freeing them up to respond to emergency calls or allowing them extra time to focus on proactive police work.

👮Criminal Charges: This category is broken down by felonies and misdemeanors. Sometimes officers have cases where someone commits multiple crimes and receives multiple charges, but the full number of charges isn't reflected here, just the number of incidents. This is a case that resulted in criminal charges and the highest level charge was either a felony or a misdemeanor.

Stat of the Month: Domestic Violence - October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. This stat encompasses any kind of domestic violence between romantic partners or family members and can include criminal threatening, assault and more. If you or someone you know is in a domestic violence situation, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
