Denver Sees Nearly 60% Drop in Homicides in 2025, According to New Report

A newly released report from the Major Cities Chiefs Association reveals that homicides in Denver have dropped by a staggering 58% in the first quarter of 2025 — one of the steepest declines in violent crime among major U.S. cities. As of April, Denver has recorded just 13 homicides, compared to 30 during the same period in 2024.

Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas attributes the sharp decrease to a strategic balance between community responsiveness and enforcement. “We’ve achieved significant crime reductions without over-policing our communities,” Thomas said. He emphasized efforts to address quality-of-life concerns, like retail theft and visible drug use, that often shape public perception of safety despite falling crime rates.

Thomas also credited the decline to strengthened partnerships with community groups, including the Struggle of Love Foundation, which helps prevent retaliation following shootings, and East High School Students Demand Action, whose advocacy efforts have helped pass impactful gun legislation.

While most violent crime is down, sexual assaults have seen a slight increase. Thomas noted that many of these incidents appear to stem from rideshare and nightlife settings, prompting the department to work more closely with those industries on preventative measures.

The report signals a positive trend for Denver, though city officials remain focused on bridging the gap between statistical improvements and public perception.
