The Anacortes Police Department's blotter for January 10 to 16, 2025, highlights significant local incidents that contribute to community safety awareness. Officers discovered a mother and daughter sleeping in a vehicle at Washington Park, confirming they were safe and did not require medical assistance. A vehicle prowl was reported on January 11, where the owner found his truck had been ransacked but nothing had been stolen, raising concerns about vehicle security in the area. An attempted burglary was investigated on January 13, with police determining the suspect had mistakenly approached the wrong property. The following day, police arrested a man with felony warrants, though the jail declined to accept him due to procedural issues.

A traffic hazard involving a metal rod that damaged a woman's tires also came to light, prompting discussions about road safety. Additionally, a disorderly conduct complaint led to the issuance of a trespass notice to a man seeking shelter. This police blotter not only informs residents about local incidents but also reinforces the importance of vigilance and community safety in Anacortes.
