New data from the Nassau County Police Department shows a major drop in crimes to start 2025.

Records show that major crimes in Nassau County dropped more than 25% in the first two months of 2025 — a dramatic year-over-year improvement that law enforcement officials say reflects ongoing efforts to keep their communities safe.

The department, which tracks seven major crime categories — murder, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny and grand theft auto — reported a total of 710 major crimes so far this year, compared to 951 during the same period in 2024.

“Nassau County is the safest county in America thanks to the men and women of our Police Department, Corrections Officers, Probation Officers and my no nonsense approach to law and order,” County Executive Bruce Blakeman said.

For the second year in a row, the county recorded zero murders during the first two months of the year.

Robberies took one of the biggest dives from 2024 with commercial robberies also dropping 25% — from 32 cases last year to 24 this year — while other robberies, such as those in public spaces, were cut by more than half, from 47 to 23.

Residential break-ins were also slashed in half, with just 29 reported so far this year, and businesses or other non-residential spots saw similar relief, with those incidents dropping from 87 to 45.

Grand larceny — the county’s most common major crime — is now on the decline with over 100 fewer cases compared to this time last year.

Assaults also trended down from 69 to 57 — a solid drop that signals fewer violent confrontations turning serious.

And while car thefts have been climbing in other parts of the country, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, Nassau is bucking the trend with a nearly 18% drop.

But the data wasn’t entirely positive — one sexual assault and two sexual abuse cases were reported in the first two months of 2025, up from zero the year before.

Nassau’s neighbors in the five boroughs have also seen a nearly 15% year-over-year decrease in major crimes for January and February, according to data from the NYPD.

Murders were down 32% with shooting incidents dropping over 20% — breaking a 30-year record for the fewest number of shootings in the first two months of the year.

“Our comprehensive crime fighting strategies are working,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement.
