According to a press conference that took place on March 6, 2025, a total of 388,226 crimes were recorded by the police in Hesse last year. This number bar shows a decline of 2.3 percent compared to the previous year, which is seen as a positive turning point, after all the first decline since an increase after the Corona pandemic years. The frequency of registered crimes per 100,000 inhabitants fell from 6,220 in 2023 to 6,046 in 2024, informed Hesse police.
Although the clearance rate fell slightly to 61.9 percent, this decline in crime statistics offers bright spots for the future of security in cities and regions.

Overall, it can be said that both local events and supra-regional developments in crime show that good exchange and close cooperation between police and citizens are still necessary to ensure a safe environment.
