Definition
The Bartlett Police Department has participated in the FBI UCR Program since 1999. This report provides specific details regarding a department’s crime index compared to other national and state averages. The UCR Program is a valuable barometer for measuring reporting rates of similarly sized cities and can aid in evaluating safety across communities. The department strives to maintain a Property Crime Index significantly lower than the national average for similar-sized municipalities.
Analysis
The Bartlett Police Department's mission is to provide the utmost safety for our citizens by incorporating a multi-dimensional approach to address the issues that affect our community. For the previous seven years, from 2018 – 2024, the City of Bartlett’s Property Crime Index has been lower than the State of Tennessee’s and the United States average indexes.
Although the mid-south community has observed an increase in Motor Vehicle Thefts and Thefts from Motor Vehicles, our department has remained committed to addressing such issues and developing innovative ways to combat this criminal activity. This commitment is shown through high visibility, proactive patrols, vigorous investigations, targeted enforcement measures, and an emphasis on community education and collaboration. As a result, the City of Bartlett's 2025 Property Crime Index was 41% lower than similar-sized cities nationally and dropped more than 7.6% compared to the previous year.
