Crime Statistics

The Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office is committed to transparency and keeping our community informed. This page provides access to crime statistics and law enforcement activity within the Sheriff’s Office jurisdiction, helping residents better understand reported incidents and public safety trends.

Explore the data to learn more about reported crimes, calls for service, bookings, traffic incidents, and other law enforcement activity. Filter the information by year and topic to focus on specific areas of interest and compare trends over time. You can also access the crime mapping tool to view reported incidents in your neighborhood and throughout unincorporated Kitsap County.

These resources support our commitment to accountability, transparency, and building a safer community through informed and engaged residents.

These statistics reflect incidents and activities reported to or handled by the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office within its jurisdiction. Counts represent reported activity and may change as incidents are reviewed, updated, or reclassified. Categories may overlap, and a reported incident does not necessarily indicate that a crime has been proven or that an arrest or conviction has occurred.

CRIME MAPPING

Lexis Nexis Crime Map is an excellent tool to assist with communication between the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office and citizens about crime in our neighborhoods and the entire unincorporated area of Kitsap County. When you get to the map click on Washington state, then select the nearest city.

Important notice about Crime Mapping:

1. Crime report titles displayed in Crime Reports are determined by sheriff's patrol deputies and detectives, based on their investigation. The crime report title may differ from what was initially reported to 9-1-1 by complainants/victims/witnesses and what the suspect may be charged with.

2. In order to protect victims of certain sensitive crimes, the following crime titles will not be displayed:

Crimes involving victims under 18 years of age,
Domestic Violence crimes,
Crimes involving sexual assault or abuse.

3. Reported crime incidents are rounded to the nearest hundred-block number. The map report location is an estimate based on this block number.
