On November 10, the Albuquerque Police Department held a press conference to release the city’s third-quarter crime statistics comparing the time period of January 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025 to the same time period in 2024. The released statistics revealed declines across every major category of crime compared to last year. The declines still leaves the city crime rates at unacceptable high levels
The statistics compared the number of crimes in each category from January-September 2025 to statistics from 2024 with the exception of homicides and shootings with injury which are tracked individually and are year-to-date statistics.
Violent crime continues to fall, with aggravated assaults down 13%, robberies down 22%, rapes down 15%, and shootings with injury down 39%.
Homicides have dropped 32% year-to-date. There have been 18 fewer homicides so far this year compared to the same day last year.
Property crime is also down significantly. Burglary and breaking and entering declined 13%, vandalism dropped 25%, and motor vehicle theft fell by 40%.Motor vehicle theft saw the biggest decrease of 40% or 1,811 fewer thefts. Larceny and theft saw the smallest decrease with 12,114 offenses compared to 13,261 in 2024, an 8% decrease.
At the same time, APD’s enforcement activity increased. Felony arrests went up by 26%, while felony warrant arrests rose 8%, reflecting a more proactive approach by APD officers citywide.
When compared to national averages, the city’s reductions lead in nearly every category. APD Spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said this in a news release:
“The data confirms that Albuquerque’s crime reduction is outpacing national trends, a testament to focused enforcement, strategic policing and strong community collaboration.”
HOMICIDES AND VIOLENT CRIME
Chief Harold Medina declared Albuquerque is a safer city and highlighted improvements in crime clearance rates. Medina shared statistics showing a 39% reduction in shootings with injuries, a 32% decrease in homicides, a 22% drop in robberies, and a 15% reduction in rapes compared to the previous year. The data for 2025 indicates there have been 19 fewer homicides, 102 fewer rapes, 153 fewer robberies, and 456 fewer aggravated assaults than in 2024.
Chief Medina said this:
“Shootings with injuries, for example, in 2024, at this point in time, they’re 237. This year, they’re 144 for a 39% reduction. … Homicides are down 32% … I think our clearance rates on homicides are a good indication of [the city being safer]. … Our trends are higher than national averages, which is a positive thing for us at the Albuquerque Police Department.”

CHIEF MEDINA AND MAYOR KELLER REACT TO REDUCE CRIME STATISTICS
Chief Medina gave credit for the reduction in crime statistics to the Albuquerque Community Safety Division (ACD) who are civilians deployed to assists those in crisis and the unhoused and credit to the National Guard for assisting APD and allowing more officers to be on the streets. Chief Medina also suggested the National Guard members working in Albuquerque could be redeployed for other missions around the state “in the near future.”
Chief Harold Medina said this about the statistics:
“The vast majority of issues we’re finding ourselves in is we have a concentration of the unhoused mainly in these areas. … It’s the fear of the unhoused that is making individuals feel unsafe in this city and we will continue to address those issues.”
Medina said this about the National Guard:
“They did a great job in assisting us to clear up officers, I think somewhere near 8,000 hours. … I suppose in the near future, they will have to go and they have other missions around the state with other cities that are suffering the same issues we see in Albuquerque.”
Mayor Tim Keller credited a mix of “smart policing, technology and community partnerships” for the improvement in the cities crime statistics, saying Albuquerque’s results demonstrate the impact of collaboration and sustained focus on public safety. Keller highlighted the city’s increased investment in crime-fighting technology like license plate readers and speed cameras, and the civilian Albuquerque Community Safety (ACD) aiding in assisting APD and freeing up officers and an increase in police force numbers. Keller said this:
“Our arrest numbers are higher than they have ever been because of civilians and technology, but also because our officers are working hard and they are making the real difference that is driving crime down. … What we’ve done is essentially free them up and support them so they can do that better than before.”
Mayor Tim Keller acknowledged that while the numbers show a decrease in crime, residents’ perception of crime may not reflect those numbers. Keller said this:
“I understand that the perception may not be that crime is going down, in fact, I would agree with that perception. … But I will tell you if we continue doing this for several more years, we will absolutely feel safer because we are safer.”

ABQ JOURNAL POLL RECALLED
The Albuquerque Journal poll released and reported on September 28, found that crime and homelessness are top Albuquerque voters’ minds with drug abuse and trafficking listed next. The poll found 53% of Albuquerque voters cited crime as the biggest issue facing the city. Homelessness followed behind and was cited by 47% of surveyed voters as their top concern, followed by Drug/Opiod abuse at 6% and illegal drugs at 5%.
“While crime was top-of-mind for residents during the last election cycle in 2021, with 66% of residents citing it as their primary concern, worries over homelessness have doubled over the four years since a previous Journal Poll. Now, 47% of voters view homelessness as Albuquerque’s biggest stumbling block.”
The Journal poll correlates with the reality on Albuquerque’s streets. Today, an estimated 2,740 people are homeless in the city, which is twice as many as in 2021, according to the latest Point-In-Time Count by the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness.
Meanwhile, concern over homelessness is shared equally by both Democrats and Republicans at 48%. Independents also care about the issue, with 39% listing it first.”

CITY RANKS 19TH IN HOMICIDES AMONG 59 MAJOR U.S. CITIES
The Albuquerque Police Department during the November 10 news conference announced a notable decrease in violent crime rates, including homicides, robberies, and shootings. Notwithstanding, the city still ranks 19th in homicides among 59 major U.S. cities.
Despite the improvements in the cities crime rates, it has been reported by KOAT TV Target 7 that Albuquerque ranks worse than cities like Chicago, Denver, and Long Beach in terms of violent crime per capita overall. KOAT TV determined these numbers by analyzing Major Cities Chiefs Association data from the first three quarters of 2025.
Many cities within the Major Cities Chiefs Association have struggled to address violent crime. KOAT TV Target 7 met with ten major city police chiefs, including APD Chief Medina, to identify possible solutions for Albuquerque.
Manny Morales, chief of police in Miami, Florida, attributes the lowering of Miami’s juvenile crime problem to robust community engagement. Morales said this:
“Last year, we did 16,000 arrests overall and only 457 were juveniles, right? And we attribute that to a robust community engagement model. … So we’re going out there and building this relationship with these kids … . And letting them know that cops are here to help. We’re not their adversaries. And we just have their best interests in mind, you gotta have people that are willing to make that investment in the youth in your community, and you’ll reap the benefits.”
Chief Johnny Jennings of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department in North Carolina emphasized the challenge of addressing the perception of crime in major cities. Jennings said this:
“People don’t want to hear that you have a double-digit reduction in violent crime. If they don’t feel safe in your community, then that’s a problem. And that’s kind of what we’re dealing with,”. “There is this perception of unsafeness.”
APD Chief Harold Medina for his part said he hopes the new statistics will help change the perception of crime in Albuquerque. Medina said this:
“Our trends are higher than national averages, which is a positive thing for us at the Albuquerque Police Department. … It’s unfortunate that you’re judged from Wyoming to Louisiana. Two blocks north of Central, two blocks south of Central. Because the vast majority of issues we’re finding ourselves in is we have a concentration of the unhoused mainly in these areas, and it’s that,” Medina said.

INTERTPRETING THE DATA ON HOMICIDES
Paul Guerin, director of the University of New Mexico’s Center for Applied Research and Analysis was asked by the Albuquerque Journal to review the APD-provided data on the city’s 2023 homicides. The same analysis can still be applied to 2024 and 2025 data. The statistics detailed motive (“individual disrespect,” drug-related and domestic violence took the top three categories), victims’ ages (most were between 36 and 45), suspects’ ages (most were between 18 and 25), weapons used (80% involved a gun) and victim and suspect race/ethnicity (the majority involved Hispanics, but Black people were disproportionately represented).
Guerin said the data lacked case-by-case specifics to “paint a better picture of murders in Albuquerque. ” He said such information could be used to bring the death toll down but also solve more cases. He said nationally and locally, the previous increase in homicides and violence is often blamed on what he called “the degrading of the social contract.” Guerin said this:
“There’s this general idea of this change in behavior that the pandemic kind of accelerated … [such as more] reckless driving, suicides, drug use and overdoses. … Homicides could just be another example.”
Guerin said that whatever the causes, the upside is that the trend reverted in many cities, including Albuquerque. Guerin said:
“Things always just revert to the norm. …The problem is, our norm is always higher than everyone else’s.”
FBI data shows that when homicides and violent crime decreased in the United States in the 1990s, Albuquerque and New Mexico never caught up. The homicide rate, save for in three distinct years, never fell as low as the national rate over three decades.
Even in comparison to violent locales like Baltimore and Chicago, which were high but steady, the homicide rate in New Mexico, driven largely by Albuquerque as the biggest city, vacillated greatly from year to year. Guerin said this:
“There’s something unique about Albuquerque. What is it about our location? … Why do we always have more murders? … Is the nexus of Interstate 25 and Interstate 40 invited crime, or if violence is somehow ingrained in the state’s culture?”
In his 32 years conducting studies at UNM for government agencies and policymakers, Guerin said nobody has studied those particulars.
“Right now, all we can do is we can say, ‘Here’s our (homicide) count, here’s what they look like, they kind of follow trends.’ But to get down to the nuances of this, like, ‘why?’ we’ve never done it. … It’s not like math, where something equals something. We’re taking our best understanding of these things with the information that was available.”
Guerin said crime, in general, is always underreported but there’s no indication the data available doesn’t give an accurate picture.
A 2023 Gallup survey found that 77% of those polled think crime was higher than the previous year. The national poll found 63% believed “the crime situation in the U.S. is extremely or very serious.” Guerin said of the poll “That’s not true, but they perceive it to be true. …It’s always been a problem, and the problem goes both directions. People telescope either way … exaggerate either way.”
The link to the quoted news source is here:
On April 26, 2023, the Major Cities Chiefs Association released its Violent Crime Survey and national totals for the crimes of homicides, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults. According to the report, Albuquerque was ranked 17th among 70 of the largest cities in the nation looking at trends in the 4 categories. The single most troubling statistic was Albuquerque’s increase in homicides.
The Major Cities Chiefs Association report shows in 2022, there was a 5% drop in homicides nationwide. According to the Major Cities Chiefs Association, Albuquerque had one of the worst homicide rates in the nation and is one of 27 cities across the nation that saw an increase in homicides.
The report shows in 2021, there were 106 homicides. In 2022, there were 115, an 8% increase. Other nearby cities like Phoenix saw a 13% increase in homicides. Meanwhile, to the north, the Denver Police Department reported an 8% decrease in homicides. Just four hours south, the city of El Paso saw a 28% decrease in homicides, one of the highest drops in the report.

Mayor Tim Keller reacting to the April 26, 2023 Major Cities Chiefs Association report had this to say:
“We have two challenges working against us. One is national trends that are all getting worse so we have to do what we can in our city, but when there’s a tidal wave of crime across America, it’s going to affect us.”
COMMENTARY AND ANALYSIS
An October Journal Poll showed that 53% of Albuquerque voters cited crime as the biggest issue in the city, followed by homelessness at 47%. Police Chief Harold Medina said that many people’s perceptions of crime may be conflated with homelessness and that APD is judged by a few blocks between the streets of Wyoming and Louisiana, NE.
There has been a decrease in homicides in big cities including Los Angeles and Detroit, but also in those long besieged by gun violence, like Chicago. Baltimore, with a similar population and reputation as Albuquerque for years has been known as one of the most violent American cities. In 2023, Baltimore recorded a 22.5% drop in homicides, its largest single-year decrease, and a 7% drop in nonfatal shootings.
Albuquerque’s trend downward in homicides reflects an identical downward trend nationally, even in the most violent cities. Across the country, the decrease has been attributed to an easing of the societal impacts of the pandemic.
KELLER’S RECORD ON CRIME FIGHTING
In 2017 when the New Mexico State Auditor Tim Keller ran for Mayor, he ran on the platform of reducing the city’s high crime rates, implementing the Department of Justice (DOJ) consent decree reforms, increasing the size of the Albuquerque Police Department from the then 950 to 1,200 and returning to “community-based policing”. In August, 2017, Keller went so far as to say about the city’s high crime rates:
“It’s unfortunate, but crime is absolutely out of control. It’s the mayor’s job to actually address crime in Albuquerque, and that’s what I want to do as the next mayor.”
In 2019 Mayor Tim Keller reacting to the spiking violent crime rates, announced 4 programs in 9 months to deal with and bring down the city’s high violent crime rates. All 5 initiatives involve early intervention and partnership with other agencies. Keller also launched his “Community Safety Department” and his “Metro Crime Initiative” which he claimed will fix the “broken criminal justice” system. The five programs that Mayor Keller initiated were:
- THE SHIELD UNIT
- DECLARING VIOLENT CRIME A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
- THE “VIOLENCE INTERVENTION PLAN (VIP PROGRAM)
- THE METRO 15 OPERATION PROGRAM
- METRO CRIME INITIATIVE
The postscript below provides a description of Keller’s 5 programs.
Fast forward again to October 4, 2021 when Keller was running for a second term and confronted by the Albuquerque Journal about the city’s spiking crime rates during his first term. Keller said this:
“I think we have honored the commitment to fight crime in a real way. That’s not just about talking tough or doing roundups or something like that, we’re actually trying to address crime from all sides. … And we have done that. Had we not done that our city would be in a much, much worse place. … It’s either naive or disingenuous for anyone to think that our crime and drug problems are so surface level that they can just be fixed by being tougher, or by arresting people. … I don’t think it’s fair to say that there’s something we could have done that would have prevented an increase in homicide … I think all around the country, it’s just shown that that’s just not true right now. … I think I’ve provided the right kind leadership at the right time and in a difficult time …”
Mayor Keller has now served two full terms as Mayor and is now seeking a third four year term. After a full 8 years in office, the city’s crime rates are now falling but crime is still at historical highs.
Simply put, all Mayor Keller’s programs to reduce violent crime were ineffective and did not having any real statistical impact on reducing crime. What did have an impact on reducing crime was that APD returned to traditional and proven methods to address crime including tactical plans, increasing resources such as doubling the size of the homicide unit, making more arrests, both felony and misdemeanor and simply being pro active such as the deployment of the National Guard and not reactive.
Over the last year so far, APD increased felony arrests by 26%, misdemeanor arrests by 18%, misdemeanor warrants by 64% and felony warrants by 8%, all of which translated into more prosecutions to get criminals off the streets. APD could do more but APD is still seriously understaffed with few officers patrolling the streets. APD is at the same sworn officer level of about 900 sworn as in 2017 when Keller was first elected after he promised 1,100 sworn police. Of the 900 full time sworn police, only about 350 are actually patrolling the area commands over three shifts and taking hundreds of thousands of calls for service and dealing with the 5 priority calls. APD is top heavy with management including having 4 Deputy Chiefs and an entire level of some 40 Deputy Commanders.
The bottom line is that the city’s reduce crime rates are following national trends. The reduced crime rates likely have very little to do with what the Keller Administration has done over the last 8 years when it comes to violent crime. Homicides and aggravated assaults are still at unacceptable levels. Simply put, citizens do not feel safe. “It’s unfortunate, but crime is absolutely out of control” as Keller said in 2017 when he was first elected .

KELLER’S FAILED VIOLENT CRIME REDUCTION PROGRAMS
It was in 2019 that Mayor Tim Keller reacting to the spiking violent crime rates, announced 4 programs in 9 months to deal with and bring down the city’s high violent crime rates. Keller also launched his “Community Safety Department” and his “Metro Crime Initiative” which he claimed will fix the “broken criminal justice” system.
All 5 initiatives involve early intervention and partnership with other agencies and are summarized as follows:
- THE SHIELD UNIT
In February 2018 the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) created the “Shield Unit”. The Shield Unit assists APD Police Officers to prepare cases for trial and prosecution by the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office.
- DECLARING VIOLENT CRIME A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
On April 8, 2019, Mayor Keller and APD announced efforts that will deal with “violent crime” in the context of it being a “public health crisis” and dealing with crimes involving guns in an effort to bring down violent crime in Albuquerque.
- THE “VIOLENCE INTERVENTION PLAN (VIP PROGRAM)
On November 22, 2019 Mayor Tim Keller announced what he called a “new initiative” to target violent offenders called “Violence Intervention Plan” (VIP). Mayor Keller proclaimed the VIP is a “partnership system” that includes law enforcement, prosecutors and social service and community provides to reduce violent crime. Mayor Keller stated:
“… This is about trying to get these people not to shoot each other. …This is about understanding who they are and why they are engaged in violent crime. … And so, this actually in some ways, in that respect, this is the opposite of data. This is action. This is actually doing something with people. …”
The “Violence Intervention Plan” can be described as a “fantasy land” experiment especially when there is little that can be done to prevent the violent crime of murder by “trying to get these people not to shoot each other” and “understanding who they are and why they are engaged in violent crime.”
- THE METRO 15 OPERATION PROGRAM
On Tuesday, November 26, 2019 Mayor Tim Keller held a press conference to announce a 4th program within 9 months to deal with the city’s violent crime and murder rates. At the time of the press conference, the city’s homicide count was at 72, matching the city’s record in 2017.
- METRO CRIME INITIATIVE
On September 23, 2021 Mayor Keller concluded a conference he dubbed he the “Metro Crime Initiative”. Participants included APD, the DA’s Office, the Courts and many other stakeholders to address what all participants labelled the “broken criminal justice” system.
The entire “Metro Crime Initiative” started with the phony proposition declared by Mayor Keller and all the participants that our criminal justice system is broken. During the September 23 concluding press conference, local leaders admitted they have not been providing enough protection and resources to keep people safe.
A list of 40 action items were revealed by Keller with the hope that once implemented they will lower Albuquerque’s crime efficiently and quickly. All the participants patted each other on the back for doing such a good job and asserting they have found the solution.
When you examine the “check list” of the 40 different proposals that were the result of the Metro Crime Initiative, the proposals are essentially what all the participants have been working on over the past 3 years and include many programs already announced. The list contains nothing new. The items listed are ones that the participants should have been doing in the first place
