Is Vallejo safe?
We don't rate cities as safe or unsafe. What the FBI's numbers show: in 2025 the violent crime rate the Vallejo Police Department reported, 778.9 per 100,000 residents, was higher than California's 432.7, and higher than the US rate of 327.6 (FBI estimates). It rose 2.7% from 2024.
What these numbers can't tell you:
- How crime differs between neighborhoods (the FBI publishes agency totals only).
- Crimes nobody reported to the police.
- How many offenses involved visitors and commuters, who are not in the population count.
Vallejo police counted 957 violent crimes reported to the FBI in 2025, a rate of 778.9 per 100,000 residents covered by the Vallejo Police Department. California's estimate for that year was 432.7 and the US rate 327.6, which puts Vallejo at 1.8 times the state and 2.4 times the nation. The 3,785 property crimes equal 3,080.5 per 100,000, 1.7 times the state figure and 2.0 times the national rate.
Since 2022, when the rate was 972.2, violent crime is down 19.9%. The last year showed a 2.7% rise in violent crime. Property crime fell 28.2% from 2022 and 23.9% from 2024.
Motor vehicle theft fell the most of the property offenses in both periods, 37.9% since 2022 and 29.1% in the last year, yet at 567.3 per 100,000 it was 2.9 times the US rate. Rape fell 41.7% from 2022 to 2025 and robbery 26.4%, though robbery, at 214.9 per 100,000, was 4.4 times the national rate. Aggravated assault rose 16.1% from 2024 and made up 65% of violent crime.
The murder counts for 2022, 2023 and 2025 are flagged as possibly incomplete, since several months in each were sent as zero, so murder is not compared. No data was reported for 2021, and the other 4 of 5 years each have 12 months. The department has used NIBRS since 2022 and had 1.07 police employees per 1,000 residents in 2025.
The Solano County Sheriff's Office reports separately, so its cases are not in these totals.
