About these categories

The FBI publishes city totals by family, not a full breakdown by offence, so homicide is the only type West Jordan 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 West Jordan?

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

What is the crime rate in West Jordan?

298 violent and 1,238 property crimes per 100,000 residents per year, based on 1,791 incidents reported to West Jordan Police Department over the 12 months to August 2026.

Where does the data come from?

From West Jordan Police Department, via FBI Crime Data Explorer (dataset UT0180600). 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 West Jordan

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.
