Metro Phoenix Crime Statistics

The safety and welfare of one's self and family is a rightful concern for all Phoenix area residents and those considering relocation to the Metropolitan area. Longstanding Phoenix residents typically are aware of the higher crime areas but new residents relocating to the Valley of the Sun may not be as intimately knowledgeable of crime statistics and related information for particular suburban towns, cities and communities.

Although in many cases, crime statistics are often imperfect, they do provide some insight and indication of levels of crime activity in one area versus another. Often it is not easy to find crime data. Visit www.faxnet1.org to find the crime statistics for the cities of Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Mesa, Peoria and Tempe Arizona which are all suburban areas of Greater Phoenix AZ.

For other cities, visit the Arizona League of Cities and Towns and select its listings of cities and towns. Each listing provides a link to the respective city or town government website. Once there, select its police department. Most will provide at least some minimal crime information although a search may be necessary. If you do not find adequate information, call the respective police department and inquire about crime statistics.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety is the coordinating agency for the Arizona Uniform Crime Reporting Program. It provides extensive data and statistics relating to crime within the State of Arizona. Read its Annual Report of Crime Data.
