Local Law Enforcement Activity

A readable look at activity published by the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office and Bellingham Police. Browse by date, agency or type of activity.

These are agency-reported entries, not live dispatch calls or independently verified news stories. An incident label is not a finding of guilt. Times are Pacific; “in progress” describes the original call classification, not its current status.

Understanding dispositions

The disposition is the status recorded when the Sheriff’s report was generated. “Closed case” does not state why the case closed. “Cleared — adult arrest(s)” or “Cleared — juvenile arrest(s)” records an arrest clearance, not a conviction. A blank code means the report provides no disposition; it does not establish that a case remains open.

Meanings follow the Sheriff’s Office disposition code table (PDF). CAA, CAC and CAM share the adult-arrest meaning; CJA, CJC and CJM share the juvenile-arrest meaning. The table distinguishes these codes for reporting purposes. These explanations apply only to Sheriff records.

About these records

Collection is attempted daily using the existing scheduled updater. The first download requests up to 30 days; later downloads refresh recent records. Availability depends on what each agency publishes. This is not a complete list of every call for service, and counts are published entries, not unique crimes.

We display incident labels, reported times, public locations and case references. Names of arrested people and officer names are not included in this view. Missing source dates are not guessed. Original reports may be revised; use the agency links for full context and corrections.

Bellingham’s source link opens its date-search form; select the displayed activity date to locate the entry. Automatically downloaded Sheriff entries link to their daily PDF; manually imported entries link to the agency report directory. A failed download does not mean there were no incidents.
