Sumner saw another encouraging year for public safety in 2025, with overall reported crime dropping more than 30% compared with 2024. At the same time, our department’s clearance rate improved from 17.8% to 22.2%, meaning our officers solved a greater percentage of reported crimes.
Some of the biggest improvements were in property crime:
• Motor vehicle theft down 57%
• Burglary down 24%
• Larceny/theft down 33%
• Property destruction down 41%
• Reported stolen-property losses fell from $4.09 million to $1.83 million
There is still work to do. Aggravated assaults, sexual assaults, and fraud increased in 2025, and our department has identified these as areas requiring continued attention.
Crime rates declined across all categories in Washington state in 2025, with reductions reported in murders, violent crime, and property crime. These findings come from the annual Crime in Washington Report (2025 Crime in Washington-compressed.pdf) compiled by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC). The report tracks crime and arrest data submitted by law enforcement agencies throughout Washington State.
Overall, the numbers show meaningful progress and reinforce the value of proactive policing, technology, strong investigations and partnerships with our community.

The Sumner Police Department is inviting community members to review and provide feedback on proposed policies and procedures related to the Keep Washington Working Act.
The Keep Washington Working Act establishes requirements for how Washington law enforcement agencies interact with federal immigration authorities. As part of our commitment to transparency, accountability, and compliance with state law, the Sumner Police Department has developed updated policies and procedures that are now available for public review.
Community input is an important part of this process. We encourage residents, business owners, and other interested community members to review the proposed policies and share their comments or questions.
View the proposed policies and procedures: https://connects.sumnerwa.gov/public-safety-transparency
Comments may be submitted by email to: Chief Andy McCurdy @ andym@sumnerwa.gov
Public feedback will be accepted through August 12, 2026. After the comment period closes, all feedback will be reviewed before the policies are finalized and implemented.
Thank you for taking the time to participate in this process and help us continue serving the Sumner community with professionalism, transparency, and accountability

We had a wonderful National Night Out yesterday!
Yesterday, our officers, Chief, Deputy Chief, Lieutenant, and Mayor along with members from the Department of Corrections Puyallup Probation Office and East Pierce Fire & Rescue visited three National Night Out gatherings throughout our community: Kincaid Court Senior Housing, Seasons at Sumner Valley, and a neighborhood gathering hosted by a former reserve deputy from the Sheriff’s department.
Members of the Department of Corrections Puyallup Probation Office and East Pierce Fire & Rescue also joined the gathering
Thank you to everyone who welcomed us, shared conversations, and helped make the evening so memorable. A special thank-you to all the organizers and hosts!
National Night Out is a great reminder that strong relationships help create a safer, more connected community. We appreciate everyone who participated!
