2016 Year in Review: Blaine Police Department

By Lisa Moeller

We appreciate the recent opportunity to include a monthly summary of incidents along with our usual press highlights.

We’ve added this new feature to give The Northern Light readers a more encompassing picture of the work we do, without taking away the sometimes amusing highlights we know they have come to enjoy.

We believe in the importance of transparency in government and accountability to our citizens.  As we develop this new monthly feature, we welcome comments, questions and suggestions from the public.

They can be emailed to us at police@cityofblaine.com, or just stop in and see us sometime.
