City data through

Denver Police recorded 1,112 reported offences in the seven days to 2026-09-10, down 12.9% on the week before, down 14.1% on the same week last year. Public disorder was the most common category at 206 reports (19% of the total). Five Points logged the most reports of any neighborhood (94), level with its previous week. The sharpest week-over-week move was Athmar Park, up 150% to 10. Denver's published extract currently runs 3 days behind, so this edition ends on 2026-09-10 to compare complete weeks. Homicide and sexual assault are excluded from this dataset, and every figure is a report to police, not a conviction.

Reading these numbers

Every figure is a report to Denver Police, not a conviction; homicide and sexual assault are excluded from the dataset. Reporting rates differ by neighborhood, and a place with more visitors than residents will always look busier than it is dangerous.
