About these categories
The FBI publishes city totals by family, not a full breakdown by offence, so homicide is the only type Collier County Sheriff's Office 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.

Safety varies a lot by neighborhood, so the figure for the whole area is only a starting point.
Is there a crime map for Collier County?
This site does not have one for Collier County. The figures on this page come from the FBI, which receives city totals rather than locations, so CurrentCrimeMap shows how Collier County (Sheriff) compares with nearby places such as Monroe County, FL (Sheriff) instead of a street-level map.
What is the crime rate in Collier County (Sheriff)?
76 violent and 383 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 1,756 incidents reported to Collier County Sheriff's Office over the 12 months to September 2026.
Is crime in Collier County (Sheriff) going up or down?
It is going down: violent crime −29% and property crime −28% over the last 12 months compared with the 12 months before.
How many homicides has Collier County (Sheriff) had in 2026?
Collier County Sheriff's Office reported 4 homicides from January to September 2026, the latest month it has reported in full, against 3 in the same months of 2025. Over the 12 months to Sep 2026 the count was 5, or 1 per 100,000 residents.
Where does the data come from?
From Collier County Sheriff's Office, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset FL0110000). We count reported incidents by month and offense type and divide by the population the agency serves, as the FBI reports it. Reported crime undercounts actual crime; see the methodology page for what the numbers leave out.
Moving to or visiting Collier County (Sheriff)
12 months to September 2026- Violent crime was down 29% and property crime down 28% over the 12 months to September 2026, compared with the 12 months before.
- 5 homicides over the 12 months to September 2026, down 17% on the 12 months before.
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.
