Brownsburg PD’s 2025 Annual Report: What the Numbers Mean for Drivers

Every year, the Brownsburg Police Department releases an annual report covering everything from K9 deployments to narcotics seizures to community outreach efforts. And while transparent and very informative, most of it will have little bearing on the average Brownsburg resident’s daily life.

The crash data is different and of particular interest to Boulton Law Group.

Within the 2025 report is a detailed breakdown of how many car accidents happened on Brownsburg’s roads during the year and how many of those crashes left someone hurt. For those who drive through our town regularly, or anyone who’s already been through a Brownsburg accident, that section is worth their attention.

Here’s what the numbers actually show.

Brownsburg’s 2025 Accident & Personal Injury Statistics

The department reported 952 total traffic collisions in 2025. Of those, 142 resulted in injury, and there were zero fatalities for the year. That’s approximately 18 crashes per week, with injuries showing up in a little over one out of every seven of them.

If you look closely at the data, the department’s dispatch records track similar volume but from a different angle. Calls logged in 2025 included 1,031 property damage accidents, 124 personal injury accidents, and 89 accidents with no information available at the time of the call, for a combined 1,244 total accident-related calls across the year.

Additionally, a separate accident log included in the report only tracked data through May 2025 and recorded 37 injury accidents in that five-month stretch alone.

So, while the totals don’t line up exactly across these different systems, they all point in the same direction: as Brownsburg continues to grow, the total number of auto accidents is also keeping pace, especially those involving personal injury.

Brownsburg Crash Reconstruction Unit (CRU) Activity

Unknown to many residents, BPD has a dedicated Crash Reconstruction Unit (CRU) that focuses specifically on accidents that involve a fatality or serious bodily injury.

Officers on this unit interview witnesses and drivers, mark physical evidence like skid marks and gouge points, and have the ability to scan the scene with a FARO device, building a 3D model of it.

Additionally, the CRU has access to drone technology that can provide detailed aerial mapping of accident sites. The unit can also pull stats from a vehicle’s crash data recorder to figure out speed, braking, and severity, as well as track down any existing dashcam or surveillance footage.

Lastly, if the crash involves a fatality, CRU officers may attend the autopsy and include those findings in their report(s).

A recent example of CRU’s involvement occurred after a pedestrian was struck on Ronald Reagan Parkway while out jogging. Due to the nature of the head injury sustained by the victim, the unit was tasked with providing additional assistance.

The CRU is budgeted for five officers, with two new members joining in 2025 after completing three separate 80-hour certification courses.

In total for 2025, the Brownsburg CRU team handled two full reconstructions for fatal or serious injury crashes. Since the department’s accident data totaled zero fatalities, it’s assumed the CRU only responded to collisions involving serious injury.

Vehicle Pursuits in Brownsburg

Separate from traditional vehicle collisions, the report also tracks vehicle pursuits. BPD documented 19 pursuits in 2025, down from 28 in 2024 and 32 in 2023. While this is positive news, vehicle pursuits are incredibly dangerous for everyone involved or innocently caught in the middle.

Four of 2025’s vehicle pursuits ended with the suspect’s vehicle crashing, though the department indicated that none of the crashes caused injuries or damage to police vehicles. On average, last year’s pursuits covered six miles and lasted six minutes.

During his 30+ years representing accident victims, attorney Matt Boulton has investigated a number of collisions that resulted from a vehicle pursuit. Because these crashes involve unlawful conduct, e.g., fleeing police, and strict guidelines for officers who are pursuing the suspect, any resulting cases can be complex.

If you were an innocent third party who was injured as a result of a crash caused by a vehicle pursuit, attorney Boulton strongly recommends you consult with an experienced Indiana personal injury lawyer to learn more about your legal options.

Brownsburg Hit-and-Run Cases

One number worth mentioning here, especially for anyone who has been through a hit-and-run, is that BPD’s Hit & Run Investigations unit had 562 cases assigned in 2025, and 498 of those were still open by year’s end. Only 70 closed with charges filed, and two closed without charges. So a large portion of the year’s hit-and-run cases hadn’t been resolved by the time this report came out.

For anyone who’s been hit by a driver who left the scene, that’s useful context. There’s a strong chance the criminal investigation could drag on for a long time; however, a personal injury claim doesn’t require you to wait on an official resolution of the hit and run.

Indiana as a whole records a large number of hit-and-run car accidents annually, with major cities like Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and Evansville often leading the way. Hopefully, with new and emerging technology, like the flock camera system, many of these cases will be solved quicker than they were in the past.

Boulton Law Group regularly handles hit-and-run accidents for injured Hoosiers. In the majority of instances, they are handled like a traditional collision, affording victims the legal right to seek the same compensation for their damages. The only difference is that unresolved cases will require attorney Boulton to file an uninsured claim with the victim’s insurance carrier.

Insurance companies aggressively defend hit-and-run cases, so attorney Boulton strongly recommends sharing the details of your accident with him as soon as possible to help ensure your legal rights are fully protected.

What Can We Take Away From 2025’s Report?

Strip away the various categories and crash logs, and 2025’s numbers point to a city with a concerning number of auto-related accidents and collisions. Nearly 1,250 accident-related calls, a Crash Reconstruction Unit busy enough to need two new certified officers, and 498 hit-and-run cases still unresolved well into 2026. These statistics shouldn’t be taken lightly, as they’re a snapshot of what local drivers and Brownsburg residents are truly up against.

For the people on the other end of those numbers, the ones who sustained an injury, incurred medical bills, missed work, or got the runaround from an insurance adjuster, the report doesn’t offer much help. That’s where experienced legal representation matters.

With his main office in Brownsburg, attorney Matt Boulton has spent more than 30 years investigating and resolving serious Indiana personal injury cases. In addition to a track record of success and professional recognition, attorney Boulton handles every facet of his clients’ cases from start to finish, leading him to be sought after by injured Hoosiers throughout the state.
