Free State Crime by Category

Compare murder, burglary, robbery, and other crime types across 113 police precincts. Click any column to sort.

Data period: Apr–Jun 2026 vs Apr–Jun 2025. Each cell shows the count and percentage of total crime for that precinct.

Not all crime is the same. An area with high drug arrests but low violent crime has a very different character from one with high murder and robbery rates. This page lets you compare 113 Free State police precincts by individual crime category — murder, residential burglary, aggravated robbery, vehicle theft, and drug-related crime.

Sort by count to find which precincts report the most cases, or sort by percentage to see where a specific crime dominates. For example, a precinct where drug crime accounts for 60% of all reported crime tells a different story from one where burglary is the primary concern.
