"The Gilbert Police Department is dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of every resident. On Sunday, June 19th, our community woke up to the news of two tragic homicide investigations, both of which were isolated incidents and unrelated. The Gilbert Police Department wasted no time in directing all available resources to investigate and make arrests in both cases. We are proud of the great work our patrol officers and investigators did to bring both of these cases to a swift resolution.
I want to reassure our residents that, even as it grows, Gilbert remains a safe community for all. Based on 2021 crime data, Gilbert is the 5th safest city out of the 100 largest cities in the country. As of May 2023, crime is down 6% compared to this time in 2022. These statistics reflect our unwavering commitment to maintaining Gilbert’s sense of community and safety now and into the future. For additional information on Gilbert crime statistics, please visit the Gilbert PD Transparency Hub." -Chief Michael Soelberg
