About these categories

The FBI publishes city totals by family, not a full breakdown by offence, so homicide is the only type Casper Police Department reports separately here. Red means more than before, green means fewer. “Not yet” means the site does not have that month from a year earlier.

Common questions

answered with the data above
Is Casper safe?

By reported violent crime, Casper is well below the average of the 302 cities and county areas on this site: 327 violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year over the 12 months to August 2026, −1% versus the previous 12 months. Safety varies a lot by neighborhood, so the citywide figure is only a starting point.

Is there a crime map for Casper?

This site does not have one for Casper. The figures on this page come from the FBI, which receives city totals rather than locations, so CurrentCrimeMap shows how Casper compares with nearby places such as Cheyenne, WY instead of a street-level map.

What is the crime rate in Casper?

327 violent and 1,859 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 1,283 incidents reported to Casper Police Department over the 12 months to August 2026.

Is crime in Casper going up or down?

It is roughly flat: violent crime −1% and property crime −4% over the last 12 months compared with the 12 months before.

How many homicides has Casper had in 2026?

Where does the data come from?

From Casper Police Department, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset WY0130100). We count reported incidents by month and offense type and divide by the Census population. Reported crime undercounts actual crime; see the methodology page for what the numbers leave out.

Moving to or visiting Casper

12 months to August 2026

What these numbers leave out: most crime never reaches the police. In the federal victim survey (BJS, 2024), about half of violent crimes and less than a third of property crimes were reported, and only a quarter of everyday thefts. Rates are per resident, so busy downtowns and tourist areas look worse than they are for the people who visit them.

The official source is FBI Crime Data Explorer. For what to look for, and what not to read into a rate, see how to read US crime numbers.
