"We have more evidence that the national narrative about crime in San Francisco is complete baloney, as the city sees its third straight year of crime rates plummeting, this year by a full 25.4% reduction in crime across the board. We already knew that San Francisco is headed for its lowest murder rate since 1954, a year that we will point out was . And yes, there are still two more days left in 2025, so a little more crime could happen here and there."
"KRON4 gets its numbers straight from the SF Police Department, via their SF Crime Dashboard seen above. 2025 crime stats are represented by the brown-orange bars, last year's 2024 crime stats are represented with the blue bars. And even though there are still a couple days left in 2025, this chart represents the same date range for both years (that is, January 1 through December 28)."
San Francisco recorded a 25.4% overall drop in crime for 2025, the third straight year of decreases. Homicides fell to 28 this year from 35 in 2024, projecting the lowest murder rate since 1954. Robberies declined by 24%, and car thefts plunged 44%, with just over 3,000 reported stolen vehicles—nearly 2,400 fewer than 2024. The sole increase was reported human trafficking for sex acts, rising from 11 to 22 incidents. Mayor Daniel Lurie and police drones receive credit for some of the reduction, and the trend stretches back to the Breed administration.
