Cities

302 cities and county areas so far. The rate in the table is what each police department reported to the FBI under the national standard, which is the only figure that lets one city be compared with another. A city appears once its department has reported twelve months in full, and drops off if that reporting goes badly stale.

A handful of cities also run their own open-data portal, and those counts are usually higher, because a department records more than it reports. Where we have both, the table shows the city’s own figure underneath. Read down the column to compare cities; read a row to see how much a department leaves out.

County rows are the area a county police department or sheriff’s office patrols, not the whole county, and their residents are the people that agency serves according to the FBI. Cities inside the county with their own police have rows of their own.
