About these categories
The FBI publishes city totals by family, not a full breakdown by offence, so homicide is the only type Warren 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.

Safety varies a lot by neighborhood, so the citywide figure is only a starting point.
Is there a crime map for Warren?
This site does not have one for Warren. The figures on this page come from the FBI, which receives city totals rather than locations, so CurrentCrimeMap shows how Warren compares with nearby places such as Sterling Heights, MI instead of a street-level map.
What is the crime rate in Warren?
515 violent and 1,387 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 2,611 incidents reported to Warren Police Department over the 12 months to September 2026.
Is crime in Warren going up or down?
It is going up: violent crime +4% and property crime −3% over the last 12 months compared with the 12 months before.
How many homicides has Warren had in 2026?
Warren Police Department reported 2 homicides from January to September 2026, the latest month it has reported in full, against 1 in the same months of 2025. Over the 12 months to Sep 2026 the count was 4, or 3 per 100,000 residents.
Where does the data come from?
From Warren Police Department, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset MI5080600). 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 Warren
12 months to September 2026- Violent crime was up 4% and property crime down 3% over the 12 months to September 2026, compared with the 12 months before.
- 4 homicides over the 12 months to September 2026, unchanged 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.
