Irving Crime Rate Down for Eleventh Consecutive Year

Irving has experienced yet another year of crime rate reduction for calendar year 2015. The overall crime rate went down by 6.6% comparing Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data between calendar years 2015 and 2014. This marks a record eleven consecutive years of crime reduction in the City of Irving. In 2007, Irving set the lowest crime rate in its recorded history and has set new records every year since.

In the eleven years since 2004, Irving’s crime rate has dropped by more than 49%. This reduction is represented by the 49% reduction in the property crime rate, and an astounding 51% drop in the violent crime rate.

"The entire community plays a part in achieving results like this and it is something for which our residents can be very proud," said Chief Boyd.

The Irving Police Department recognizes the importance of community engagement in its efforts to fight and reduce crime. The Department will continue strengthening its relationships with residents, crime watch groups and neighborhood associations in an effort to achieve even greater success.
