The Tempe Police Department’s Crime Analysis & Intelligence Center (CAIC) is the hub for intelligence and data-driven policing. With a team of research and data analysts and investigative assistants, the center provides vital support to investigations and plays a key role in reducing crime across our community.

The center focuses on both short-term and long-term analysis to identify trends, allocate resources effectively, and generate actionable intelligence. Its mission is to enhance public safety by delivering timely insights that help prevent and suppress crime while supporting the department’s overall goals.

The department is a contributing agency to the East Valley Gang & Criminal Information Fusion Center.

The CAIC also assists with City Performance Measures, particularly those that fall under the Safe and Secure Communities strategic priority. 

Crime Statistics and Resources

The following statistics and crime data are provided to the public as part of our commitment to transparency. These resources offer insight into crime trends and activity within the City of Tempe.

• Arizona Crime Statistics
• National Crime Statistics
• Community Crime Map (Crime Search)

As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and accurate reporting, the Tempe Police Department has transitioned to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) in 2022. This system offers a more detailed and comprehensive view of crime in our community.  Crime data prior to March 15, 2025 may contain inconsistencies due to internal changes to reporting that were made.  We appreciate the community’s understanding as we continue to improve the quality, clarity, and reliability of our public safety data.
