Overall, Edmond grades B− for safety (#32 of 124 graded towns in Oklahoma, and #39 of 325 U.S. cities over 100,000): close to the middle of U.S. towns, on crimes its police reported to the FBI in 2023–2025.
Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. “Rest of OK” is every other Oklahoma 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.

Its property rate (13.4) is below the FBI’s national estimate (17.6) but higher than in most individual towns: the national figure is weighted by people, and the grade counts towns.
Homicides and robberies
Edmond’s police reported 3 homicides, 12 robberies and 137 violent crimes in all to the FBI in 2025. By year, against the rest of Oklahoma and all U.S. cities and towns in the FBI’s tables.

22 people died in crashes on Edmond’s roads in 2019–2023
Edmond had 20 fatal crashes in five years, in which 22 people died; 6 were pedestrians and 1 was a cyclist. 4 died in crashes on an Interstate.
That is 4.5 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, about the same as the median for Oklahoma towns of 25,000–100,000 people (5.1, 13 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 Edmond. A citywide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of the city to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Edmond’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (100,144 in 2025); our figure for Edmond is 100,479 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
