LaCygne police release encouraging report

 LCPD Community Update – Keeping You Informed

We’re proud to share the latest statistics through 3 quarters, as we continue our mission to serve and protect with Transparency, Ethics, and Professionalism.
Crime Statistics
Year to date, we maintain a 97% clearance rate on reported crimes. We’ve achieved a 100% clearance rate in crimes against persons, society, and property. The only exceptions are two theft cases that unfortunately remain unsolved.
Additionally, officers have served 28 arrest warrants, helping bring those cases closer to justice and accountability. Notably 28 is already 10 more arrests than 2024’s total and 20 more than 2023!
Traffic Stop Statistics
Of all traffic stops conducted, only 12% have resulted in citations. This reflects our department’s focus on education, awareness, and voluntary compliance, rather than punitive enforcement. But also, our dedication to High Visibility Patrol efforts.
Community Services Completed
70 Informational Reports
60 VIN Inspections
50 Fingerprinting or Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Inspections
478 Calls for Service, not resulting in a report or otherwise duplicated.
We have also conducted 370 area/building checks as part of a concentrated effort to ensure every part of town receives consistent patrol coverage, while also allowing officers to become more familiar with our neighborhoods and businesses, and to ensure they are properly secure.
We’re proud of the work our team does every day to build trust and keep our community safe. Thank you for your continued support!
For clarification, a "clearance" or "cleared case" is when probable cause is developed for suspect(s), which could result in an arrest, no charges filed at the request of the victim, or the suspect(s) is not prosecutable.
