Public Safety

Government's number one priority is the safety of its citizens and our visitors. Florida's goal is to champion crime prevention and emergency readiness, and maintain an effective criminal justice system.
  • Florida is an unquestioned leader in preparing for, and responding to, emergencies.
  • Florida's crime rate is holding steady after reaching 36-year lows.
  • Florida is maintaining a steady re-offender rate among both adults and juveniles.
  • Florida's traffic fatality rate is decreasing for the first time in several years.
Florida measures key indicators to enable the state to track progress, identify areas of concern, and provide opportunities for local, state, and federal agencies to work together for the safety of our citizens.
