About these categories

Homicide, robbery, burglary, theft and vehicle theft come from the same reports Grand Prairie Police Department sends the FBI. Theft from vehicles is NIBRS codes 23F and 23G (items and parts taken from a vehicle) and theft is the rest of larceny. Robbery is part of violent crime and the others of property crime; assault and rape count in violent crime but are not listed separately, so the rows do not add up to the totals. Red means more than before, green means fewer. “Not yet” means the site does not have that month from a year earlier.

Against other places of 100,000+ residents: vehicle theft (115th highest rate of 155), robbery (142nd highest rate of 152) and burglary (125th highest rate of 168).

Common questions

answered with the data above
Is Grand Prairie safe?

By reported violent crime, Grand Prairie is well below the average of the 302 cities and county areas on this site: 223 violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year over the 12 months to August 2026, +10% 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 Grand Prairie?

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

What is the crime rate in Grand Prairie?

223 violent and 1,212 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 3,015 incidents reported to Grand Prairie Police Department over the 12 months to August 2026. Violent crime includes 33 robberies (property taken by force or threat); property crime includes 223 burglaries, 379 thefts from vehicles and 1,629 other thefts.

Is crime in Grand Prairie going up or down?

It is going up: violent crime +10% and property crime −13% over the last 12 months compared with the 12 months before.

How many homicides has Grand Prairie had in 2026?

Grand Prairie Police Department reported 3 homicides from January to August 2026, the latest month it has reported in full, against 2 in the same months of 2025. Over the 12 months to Aug 2026 the count was 7, or 3 per 100,000 residents.

Where does the data come from?

From Grand Prairie Police Department, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset TX0571200). 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.

Vehicle theft305145−34%

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.
