KRTV reported on crime trends in Great Falls, noting that available data presents a mixed picture regarding whether crime is increasing.

Great Falls, MT, October 19, 2026 —
KRTV reported on crime trends in Great Falls, where available data presents a mixed picture on whether crime is increasing. The information provided does not point to a clear overall direction, and it does not include figures that would show the scale or timing of any changes.
The trend summary does not identify which types of crime were included, what time period the data covers, or how the figures were compared. It also does not provide specific statistics, statements from officials, or details about the data source. Without those details, the account cannot establish which categories may have risen or fallen, or whether the mixed picture reflects differences between categories or time periods.
As presented, the report’s central point is limited: the available data does not offer a straightforward answer to whether crime in Great Falls is increasing. A more detailed assessment would require the underlying figures and information about how they were collected and compared. Those details are not included in the summary provided here.
No specific causes, policy responses, or next steps were provided. The available information therefore supports reporting that KRTV covered the issue and described the data as mixed, but it does not support a more precise conclusion about the direction or extent of crime trends in Great Falls.
