The report highlights BPD's new drone program“These tools are already making a difference—supporting traffic investigations, critical incident mapping, and searches for dangerous suspects—adding a powerful new layer to public safety. We focused enforcement efforts where they mattered most. Our Directed Enforcement Team took on the rise of fentanyl and other dangerous drugs impacting our community. Working alongside local and federal partners, they made meaningful progress in disrupting the flow of drugs and saving lives—work that will continue into 2026. Bremerton remained a place to gather and celebrate. From Bridge Blast and Armed Forces Day to Krampus and the opening of Quincy Square, our officers were present, engaged, and proud to serve alongside the community at these events. Community connection continued to grow through our third Citizens Academy, PACT meetings, and Coffee with the Cops. When we take time to listen, learn, and work together, barriers fall and trust grows.”
