⚠️ The Battle Creek Police Department Administrative/Records Division will be unable to process licenses to purchase a fi***rm on both today, Thursday, Oct. 22, and tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 23. ⚠️

This service change is due to the Michigan Department of Corrections completing the final phase of replacing their existing Offender Management Network Information with their new Corrections Offender Management System. This replacement work by the MDOC has resulted in the temporary inability to process licenses to purchase a fi***rm across the State of Michigan, until Monday, Oct. 26.

The BCPD Administrative/Records Division will be able to resume regular hours for processing licenses to purchase a fi***rm, of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, on Monday, Oct. 26. Meanwhile, the Administrative/Records Division is still able to provide all other regular services for neighbors.

We apologize for any inconveniences that this temporary service change may cause our neighbors.

A reported breaking and entering near Capital Avenue SW and Eldred Street early Monday morning led to a vehicle pursuit, standoff and arrest.

Officers responding to the area encountered a man armed with a hammer. When he became hostile, officers attempted to de-escalate the situation and use less-lethal force options, but those efforts were unsuccessful.

During the encounter, the suspect gained access to an unoccupied patrol vehicle and fled. Officers disabled the vehicle near Meachem Avenue and Kedzie Court, where they continued negotiating with the suspect until he surrendered.

The incident ended without the use of deadly force.

The suspect was treated for minor injuries before being lodged at the Calhoun County Jail. An officer injured in a vehicle crash related to the incident was treated and released.
