How much crime is reported in Frisco?
In 2024, law enforcement reported 235 violent and 2,336 property offenses in the Frisco jurisdiction — a violent-crime rate of 100.9 per 100,000, below the U.S. estimate of 359.1.
Reported offenses known to law enforcement from the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program (CIUS Table 8), 2024. Figures describe the FBI agency jurisdiction: Frisco — an FBI jurisdiction population of 232,961, versus the Census place population of 236,955. The rate per 100,000 is the FBI's own (count ÷ that jurisdiction population), never divided by the Census place figure. These are reported crimes under voluntary participation — not measured or victimization crime — and the FBI cautions against using them to rank or compare places. See methodology §31.
