What police departments reported to the FBI. Rates are per 100,000 people, so they can be compared across years even as the population grows.
Police agencies covering about 96.4% of the U.S. population reported the year shown. The FBI's data runs to 09/2026. The FBI advises against using these figures to rank places against each other, and The Record does not.
Every figure on this page was read from FBI Crime Data Explorer. The Record does not adjust, weight or re-base any of it. FBI Crime Data Explorer →
