Past weekly summaries
LatestData through · published
Tacoma shoplifting calls fall 36% as vandalism reports rise 31%
Tacoma Police Department logged 96 commercial alarm calls in Sep 30–Oct 6, 2026, down 24% from 127 the prior week. Shoplifting calls fell 36% to 18, and suspicious-activity calls dropped 20% to 69. Vandalism reports rose 31% to 55 even as vandalism calls fell 43% to 12.
Fewer alarm and suspicious-activity calls still leave 45 trespass and prowler calls, so scheduled security patrol rounds and posted responder presence remain useful for offices and industrial sites. Shoplifting's drop favors continued attention at retail centers, while the rise in written vandalism reports points to after-hours damage worth AI camera monitoring.
Tacoma recorded 349 tracked records, ahead of unincorporated Pierce County at 33 and Puyallup at 13. Local news this week included shootings in Tacoma and Milton and an explosive device that damaged a Tacoma business with three employees inside.
