At Sixth Sense Security, we believe that feeling secure should be an intuitive sixth sense—as natural as breathing. Our mission is to provide the people of Denver, CO and the surrounding metro area with top-tier security services that put their safety first. Below, our expert team explores rising crime trends in the Denver area and how our team security professionals can help enhance safety and peace of mind.
Crime Trends in Denver
Unfortunately, statistics show that crime is on the rise in metro Denver. Last year, Denver saw a 10% increase in motor vehicle thefts over 2020. Catalytic converter thefts have skyrocketed as well, increasing a staggering 5,358% in just two years.
Residential burglaries are up significantly too, with over 6,400 reported in 2021. Many of these are crimes of opportunity, with unlocked doors or windows providing easy access. Garage break-ins are also on the rise, with bicycles, tools, and outdoor gear being common targets.
Violent crimes have also increased across Denver. Homicides were up nearly 24% last year, while reported rapes increased 7.4%. Aggravated assaults and robberies also rose over 9% and 3% respectively.
Disturbingly, bias-motivated crimes rose over 46% in 2021, with 359 hate crimes reported. Physical assault and vandalism motivated by prejudice were the most common charges. This uptick in violence and property crime has many in Denver on edge.
Denver's increase in homelessness has also created additional security concerns for some. Reports of trespassing, public disturbances, aggressive panhandling, open drug use, and trash pile-ups have risen in areas with large homeless encampments. Human waste on sidewalks and properties has also become an unfortunate issue. Many feel city efforts have been inadequate to address these quality of life concerns.
