Cheyenne Police Report For 2025: Property Crimes, Overdose Deaths Down

A report this week from the Cheyenne Police Department for 2025 shows decreases in property crimes such as burglary and motor vehicle theft.

Crimes Against People Up Slightly Year-Over-Year

Crimes against people were actually up slightly year-over-year, with seven more such offenses in 2025 versus 2024. The good news is that those crimes show a long-term decline from 2021, when 1,093 such crimes where reported compared to 928  last year.

Quoting the CPD news release:

"Over the last year, officers responded to 69,517 calls for service, which follows a three-year downward trend. Today, the department is funded for 115 sworn officers. There are currently 114 CPD officers in the city.

“At the beginning of 2025, we set clear goals to reduce property crime and improve traffic safety,” said Chief Mark Francisco. “Through crime data analysis, targeted enforcement, and prevention strategies, we saw measurable progress in both areas, and an 8% reduction in overall crime compared to 2024. This marks the second consecutive year that overall crime has declined.”

The report also says drug overdose deaths in 2025 hit a six-year low in Cheyenne: In 2025, drug overdoses accounted for 6% of the team’s total caseload, marking a decline from previous years. Most notably, there was an 88% decrease in overdose deaths between 2024 and 2025. The CAT investigated two overdose deaths total – the fewest in six years.
