Granby spent $448 per resident on police in FY2016, 65% above the median of the 179 Colorado municipalities reporting. It had 2.9 sworn officers per 1,000 residents in 2016, 23% below its peers. Reported violent crime was 1.5 per 1,000 residents, 24% below the Colorado median, and property crime was 55% below the median.

Violent crime clearance rate (2016) not shown: Fewer than 10 violent crimes reported; a clearance rate would not be meaningful

About these numbers

The city's own published statistics may differ: CBI counts some offenses once per victim, while many cities count once per case.
Reported crime reflects what is reported to police and how it is recorded, not only how much crime occurs.
Police spending here is FY2016, the government’s fiscal year; crime, clearances and staffing are calendar year 2016.
