OPD releases a new crime report that indicates

Omaha, along

Newly published official crime report data from the Omaha Police Department show that the OPD was more effective in combating crime than in over 10 years.

Both violent crime and total crime are the lowest that they have been since 2012.

Last year, the number of murder had dropped to 19, which was the lowest Omaha in 35 years. In general, violent crimes were lowest in 2024 and fell under 2,000 for the first time in 10 years. The overall crime in the U -Bahn was also historically low in 2024 and landed under 18,000 for the first time since 2012. Other published statistics were primarily 1 response times.

A priority 1 is an emergency call that requires an immediate answer, assuming that there is a threat to life.

The statistics of OPD showed that the response times are increased under 12 minutes. Compared to other cities in the Midwest, Omaha has the lowest murders per capita. The deputy director Dave van Dyke says that other cities take note of it.

“Omaha is an example of other cities because we find cities such as Memphis, Lansing, Michigan and other places that have come to Omaha here to look at our model and see what we are doing here, especially in the relationship between the Omaha police in the police in the police, and wanted to model this in their own cities,” said Van Dyke.

Van Dyke said that the performance was due to a strong cooperation between OPD and Community members who work to prevent crime. He says, without the detectives and community groups of the city like Omaha 360, they would not be where they are today.
