Safe City Rating
Why Is This Important?
The ability to provide security for residents is a fundamental aspect of a more connected community
Measure Description
The Olathe Police Department (OPD) participates in the annual Benchmark Cities Survey along with 29 other police agencies across the country. The Safe City Rating is based on "Group A Crimes (Total) per 1,000 Citizens", a measure reported on in this survey. Olathe achieves a Safe City Rating when our Group A Crimes (Total) per 1,000 Citizens ranks in the Top 10% of all benchmarked cities. 2020 data will be available in late 2021.
