About Crime Data
Henrico Police utilizes FBI’s Uniform Crime Report (UCR) reporting methodology, commonly referred to as Part I Offenses. It does does not contain information about all known criminal offenses that have occurred in Henrico County. Instead, Part I Offenses include violent offenses (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault) and non-violent offenses (burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft and arson). The Division of Fire has investigative authority over arson.

PART I CRIMES & CRIMINAL OFFENSES
Total Part I Crime
In 2025, Henrico experienced a 12% decrease across the total number of Part I Offenses from 2024, and a 16% decrease from the county’s five-year average.
The decrease in county-wide Part I crime in 2025 is attributed primarily to the decrease in homicides (-86%), rape (-58%) and arson (-37%) when compared to 2024. However, compared to the five-year average, there was a decrease in all offense categories.
In 2025, there was a 2% decrease in violent Part I offenses compared to 2024 driven by the decrease in homicides and rapes.
There are natural crime fluctuations year-to-year; while identifying significant spikes in crime over a short period is important, it is equally important to identify crime trends over long periods of time. Notable anomalies could be attributed to the COVID-19 impact on criminal activity that occurred 2020-2021.
Nevertheless, the reduction of crime and safety of the public remains the top priority of the Henrico County Police Division.
