Nine months into 2025, crime incident data published daily by the Tallahassee Police Department shows that total crime incidents have declined by 29.7% when compared to incident data from January thru September in 2024. The drop was driven by a 48.5% decline in commercial burglaries and a 33.4% decline auto related crime incidents.
Despite the year-to-date declines, over the last three months violent crime incidents related to assaults are up when compared to the same type of incidents reported from January to June. From January to June there were a monthly average of 52.3 assault related incidents reported. From July through September that number is up to 65.3 per month, a 25% increase.

You’re correct, August.
Property crimes are not being reported because TPD WILL NOT COME OUT to your vandalized property to do the report. They tell YOU to fill out a report online. It’s called (ironically) CopLogic.
You have to be the police investigator.
This is an OUTRAGE – this is why we pay taxes, and TPD is abrogating their duty.
This has happened to me, so I’m 100% correct.
There is no way property crime has gone down by 30%. I don’t believe that any more than I believe democrats love America. Because they don’t.
My neighbor’s car has been broken into three times in nine months; he called the cops the first time and didn’t bother them for the last two, based on their first response.
The cops chuckled when he asked them if they ever get anyone’s stuff back. Now he has a fence around the front yard and a big dog…
Tallahassee is a high crime city no matter how much Steve tries to convince us otherwise.
