Summary
A Neighborhood Council of Councils report summarized Great Falls Police Department staffing priorities and use of AI to analyze crime trends, calling out violent crime, juvenile groups, high‑crash intersections, SRO redeployment and drug distribution disruption as top priorities.
Neighborhood Council #1 members heard a summary of a Neighborhood Council of Councils meeting that highlighted Great Falls Police Department staffing, priorities and use of AI software to analyze crime trends.
The report listed top priorities as violent crimes and juvenile groups; high‑crash intersections (including a starter grant to increase patrols on 10th Ave. S. between 9th St. and 23rd St.); redeploying school resource officers downtown over the summer; and disrupting and dismantling drug distribution networks. The report noted that larceny and shoplifting increased in calendar year 2025 compared with 2024, while most other crime categories declined.
Residents were encouraged to register home security cameras in the SCRAM program to assist police investigations. No formal city action or vote occurred during the Neighborhood Council meeting; the report was presented for information and community awareness.
