Incident reports declined compared to both comparison periods. Officers filed 163 reports in April 2026, down from 189 in March 2025 and significantly lower than the 202 reports logged in April 2025.

Traffic activity showed a notable increase. Officers conducted 581 traffic stops in April 2026, a sharp rise from 429 in March 2025. Traffic accidents also increased to 52, up from 42 in March 2025 but slightly below the 58 crashes reported in April 2025.

Police also reported 15 assists to the juvenile diversion program (JDP) in April 2026, a category not included in the earlier data.

Overall, the latest figures suggest a busier month for Westborough police, driven largely by increased traffic enforcement and a modest uptick in calls for service, even as incident reports declined compared to last year.
