Look at it this way: do you want police not disclosing who they arrest?

Name, age, city is pretty common; especially name and age of someone arrested. I'd imagine it public records.

Some quick googling for recent examples. I just looked for news articles, not sure what if the police release has more residency info on the ones that aren't listed in the articles.

That and I am sure there is a PR aspect to it and putting local populace at ease.
