The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter Police Blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 800 per week.

Between Jan. 27 and Feb. 2, the Kirkland Police Department reported 455 traffic violations (two DUIs), 14 alarm calls, 18 car accidents, seven noise complaints, 11 thefts, 12 car prowls, four domestic violence calls, 11 acts of fraud, 16 calls of a disturbance, two robberies, three burglaries and six calls of harassment. At least 30 people were arrested.
