On crimes reported to the FBI by Globe’s police in 2023–2025, it grades D− for safety.
Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. “Rest of AZ” is every other Arizona city and town in the FBI’s tables; the U.S. figure is the FBI’s national estimate as published, averaged over the three years. The FBI publishes no national homicide or robbery rate in our data, so those compare with all U.S. cities and towns in its tables.
What’s behind Globe’s grade
Property crimes plus four times violent crimes reported to the FBI per resident, 2023–2025, on a national curve. Both violent and property crime are higher than in most U.S. towns; violent crime is the closer of the two to typical.
Violent crime, by year and by type
Globe’s police reported 153 violent crimes to the FBI over 2023–2025, about 7.1 per 1,000 residents a year, against 4.4 in the rest of Arizona and the FBI’s national estimate of 3.6.

Crimes per 1,000 residents
269 crimes reported in 2025
61 violent and 208 property, as reported to the FBI by Globe’s police.
2025 offenses reported
Offenses reported to police, not convictions. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting. The last row is counted outside the property total.
12 people died in crashes on Globe’s roads in 2019–2023
Globe had 12 fatal crashes in five years, in which 12 people died; 3 were pedestrians.
That is 33.4 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Arizona towns of 5,000–25,000 people (8.1, 56 towns).
Deaths are counted where the crash happened, not where the people lived: a highway through town adds through-traffic deaths, and residents’ own risk on roads elsewhere isn’t here. Town rates sit below state and U.S. rates because a third of fatal crashes happen outside any town. Road safety is described here and is not part of the Safety Grade.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- It’s reported crime. Only incidents reported to and recorded by police appear here. Many crimes are never reported to police.
- One number for all of Globe. A town-wide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of town to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Globe’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (7,158 in 2025); our figure for Globe is 7,191 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
