BREAKING: A suspect has reportedly barricaded themselves in a residence on West Meadow Drive. King Ave West between 32nd and 36th is currently closed (as of 7:30 am Wednesday)

Law enforcement will be ramping up their presence at MontanaFair this year, largely in response to a shooting that injured one at the midway last year. BPD will be joining the YCSO in patrolling the grounds.

An 11-year-old girl was injured after a bullet went through a wall, and hit her shoulder.

In this developing story, a woman may have shot into neighboring homes, and BPD is working to contact the suspect.

It seems like everybody has cameras. The Billings Police Department has rolled out a new voluntary program to help save time when reviewing neighborhood cams after a crime occurs. Learn more here.

BPD reveals the accident involving five vehicles on Wednesday at King Ave/Mullowney Lane overpass was caused by a driver under the influence. He also had no insurance.

A $68,000 Homeland Security grant has provided local emergency agencies with additional digital eyes and ears.

The 88-year-old man suffers from dementia and was last seen on a doorbell cam near Shiloh and Broadwater on Monday night.

For transparency, and ultimately for the protection of everyone involved in police/public encounters, the City and the Billings Police Department must prioritize the use of officer body cameras.

No one was injured and there was no actual threat to the hospital.
