In the week ending Jan. 18, Milwaukee police reported a total of 48 incidents, according to the latest data from Milwaukee Open Data.

This was a decrease of 27.3% from the previous week, which saw 66 incidents.

Of the 48 incidents reported, the largest portion (39.6%, or 19 incidents) were classified as 'Criminal Damage'. The second most common category was 'Theft', accounting for 22.9% of incidents (11 total).

Milwaukee experienced a 4% decline in both violent and property crimes in 2024, with homicides dropping 23% to 132 and nonfatal shootings decreasing 24% to 639. Burglaries and thefts also fell by 7%.

However, carjackings rose by 11%, totaling 513 incidents, and auto thefts increased by 2%, disrupting the overall positive trends.

"Overall, I am quite satisfied with the direction we’re headed. 2024’s success should motivate all of us to keep working to make the city safer," Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said during a press conference in January 2025.
