In 2024, Cedar Rapids saw a significant drop in violent crime, with incidents decreasing by 16% compared to the five-year average.
The city credited this to community partnerships, technology like license plate cameras, and police efforts.
However, there were increases in minor crimes such as retail shoplifting and fraud.
