As of November 1, 2024, the year-to-date numbers indicate that the total number of crime incidents reported by the Tallahassee Police Department are down 6.9% when compared to the same period in 2023.
TR’s last report indicated the total number of crime incidents was down 7.9% year-to-date (YTD).
The numbers show that property crime incidents are down 1.0% and violent crime incidents are down 18.3% during the period.
Property crimes encompass burglaries, thefts, and incidents of vandalism. Violent incidents include aggravated assaults, armed robberies, and physical altercations.
A look at specific crimes (see table below) reveals that the 6.9% decrease in property crime is being driven by a 1.2% decrease in residential burglaries incidents and a 16.7% decrease in commercial burglaries.
The YTD violent crime data shows that robbery incidents were down 19.2%, while assault & battery incidents were down 16.7%.
The Four-Week Trend
The YTD downward trend is being driven by a recent double-digit decrease in violent crime incidents. For the four-week period ending November 10th, the number of violent crime incidents have dropped 33.3% when compared to the same period in 2023.
However, over the last four weeks there has been an increase in property crimes led by a 18.3% increase in auto burglaries and thefts.

During the period, there have been 21 fatal shootings in 2024, compared to 20 fatal shooting deaths in 2023. In 2023, the year ended with a total of 24 fatal shootings.
