City News - Public Safety Update

In 2021, while many cities across the United States saw increases in crime, Sioux Falls saw most crime categories remain consistent compared to 2020. One notable exception was a 19 percent increase in the number of stolen vehicles that happened in 2021 in Sioux Falls; the vast majority were stolen after keys were left inside the vehicles.

The amount of cocaine seized in Sioux Falls shattered the old mark. In 2021, over 157 pounds of cocaine were seized. The previous record was over 4 pounds in 2019. The 4 pounds of fentanyl seized was another record for 2021. The number of overdose reports and overdose deaths increased last year. The seizure and removal of dangerous and illicit drugs remains a high priority to help keep the city safe.
