Crossville safety

Police activity counts and stormwater conditions need one address review

The December 2025 police report lists 36,545 calls, 639 offenses, and 1,532 arrests. These are agency activity counts that may include traffic, visitors, and service calls, not a resident-only rate.

The city stormwater program identifies flooding and erosion from runoff. Review slope, streams, drainage, floodplain, FEMA mapping, insurance, roads, lighting, winter conditions, power, and emergency access for the exact home.

Review Crossville safety by address

  1. Use current local information

    Keep city police, fire, stormwater, codes, flood, and insurance guidance available.

    Review lighting, slope, streams, drainage, erosion, flood exposure, insurance, roads, power, and emergency access.
