About the Bozeman Police Department
The Bozeman Police Department serves one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. Bozeman's population has grown dramatically over the past decade, driven by an influx of remote workers, tech companies, and outdoor recreation tourism around Yellowstone National Park. In 2025, the BPD reported a 60% increase in traffic violations — a direct consequence of the city's rapid growth and increased vehicle traffic. The department works closely with the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office and Montana State University Police. Property crime and drug-related offenses have grown alongside the city's expanding population.
