Aurora is ranked the safest large city in Colorado and places in the top 20 safest large cities in the U.S. Our low crime rate per capita puts us ahead of Denver and Colorado Springs, and makes it a reassuring place to call home.

The Aurora Police Department voluntarily participates in the Uniform Crime Reporting System (UCR). There are seven major crimes reported in UCR. These are the only crimes reported nationally to the FBI and the only measures to compare one city’s crime trends to another. For reporting purposes, the seven major crimes are categorized into two groups: Violent Crime (murder, forcible sex assault [rape], aggravated assault, robbery) and Property Crime (burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft). The Total Major Crime or Index Crime is an aggregate of the total Violent Crime and total Property Crime, providing an overall view of major crime in an area.
