Recent trend

Cincinnati's annual total declined 19.4% between two complete years, from 28,947 incidents in 2024 to 23,325 in 2025. That follows a higher 2023 total of 37,063, showing two consecutive yearly declines after 2023. Earlier complete years include 32,372 incidents in 2022 and 30,826 in 2021. On a same-month basis, January–October 2026 recorded 18,534 incidents, down 6.3% from 19,785 in January–October 2025. Because 2026 data cover only part of the year, the year-to-date comparison uses the same months in both years rather than a full-year total.
