The City collects UCR Part I crime data (violent and property crimes). The City's crime index is determined using census data and the FBI uniform crime reporting data. This measure is reported on a quarterly basis and tracked on a weekly basis. The reported annual crime rate is based on the calendar year.

We experienced a reduction in reported crimes in almost every category. The only exception is in forcible rape wherein three incidents were reported. Two of the three cases have been exceptionally cleared and the remaining case is still under investigation.

Percent of respondents indicating somewhat satisfied/very satisfied with police services based on the City's annual community survey.

The City continues to achieve a high score in satisfaction with residents for police services. In fiscal year 2018, police services achieved a 91% satisfaction score. The department has set 90% as a level to institute a directed survey to a significant population of the City to determine opportunities for improvement.

*The City did not administer a Community Survey in FY19, FY20 or FY21.

Percent of respondents indicating somewhat satisfied/very satisfied with "my level of safety when walking alone in my neighborhood at any time of the day or night" on the City's annual community survey.

In the latest citizen survey, 88% of the respondents feel safe while walking alone at night. A score of less than 80% prompts the department to revisit directed and high visibility patrols.

Percent of respondents indicating somewhat satisfied/very satisfied with "safety of Germantown in comparison to other cities" based on the City's annual community survey.

Germantown crime index remains the lowest in the region. If our citizen's satisfaction were to fall below 90% we would enhance our public information campaign through social media and community outreach. The effort would educate our citizens on the success rate of the department in relation to those agencies around us.
