Scope: This dashboard summarizes project-level budget, reported actual spending, remaining budget, percent spent, and status for the projects listed in the source file.
Calculations: When the source file had blank remaining budget or percent spent values, remaining budget was calculated as FY2026 Budget minus Actual Spent, and percent spent was calculated as Actual Spent divided by FY2026 Budget. Blank Actual Spent values are displayed as $0.
Limitations: This dashboard does not include vendor payment detail, invoice-level backup, procurement documentation, or project schedule details unless those details were included in the source file.

Most recent report first, with context showing how 2025 activity compares to prior APD reporting.
2025 first
APD reported 54,647 total public safety incidents in 2025, including 40,848 in the City of Anniston and 13,407 in the surrounding police jurisdiction.
Reported Part I offenses declined from 1,627 in 2024 to 1,384 in 2025. Violent crime fell from 387 to 327, while property crime fell from 1,240 to 1,057.
The 2025 report explains that APD serves both the city limits and a surrounding police jurisdiction, with a combined police jurisdiction service population of 41,007.
APD reports emphasize that only a small share of total calls involve Part I crime. Most activity reflects service calls, quality-of-life issues, traffic enforcement, security checks, welfare checks, and proactive policing.
Older years are displayed as calls for service. The 2025 figure is labeled as total public safety activity because that report includes officer-initiated activity categories such as traffic stops.
Part I, violent, property, and individual offense categories are displayed over time where report data is available.
2015-2025
Older years are transcribed from APD annual report crime trend charts; 2024 and 2025 category totals come from the 2025 annual report comparison page.
| Year | Part I | Property | Violent | Homicide | Sexual Assault / Rape | Robbery | Aggravated Assault | Burglary | Theft | Motor Vehicle Theft |
