Boston Police Release Part 1 Crime and Shooting Statistics
Boston police released crime statistics for Part 1 crimes and shootings on October 25, 2026, as part of an ongoing comparison of data from January 1, 2026, through October 25, 2026, against the same period in 2025.
Boston, MA, October 26, 2026 —
Boston police released statistics on Part 1 crimes and shootings on October 25, 2026, as part of an ongoing comparison with the same period in 2025. The comparison covers January 1 through October 25 in each year, according to the information provided.
The release concerns two categories of public-safety data: Part 1 crimes and shootings. However, the specific figures were not included in the available summary. It therefore does not establish whether reported incidents in either category increased, decreased or remained unchanged compared with the corresponding period in 2025.
The summary also does not provide a breakdown by crime type, neighborhood or month, or explain how the figures were compiled. It does not identify a police spokesperson or include comments about the data. Those details cannot be confirmed from the information provided.
As described, the comparison is ongoing and uses matching date ranges for 2026 and 2025. No further timeline, next steps or additional findings were specified. Without the underlying statistics, the scale and direction of any year-over-year change remain unclear. The information provided confirms the release and the periods being compared, but does not support conclusions about particular trends in crime or shootings.
