REPORT: Nashville and Its Peers: Policing and Public Safety
The Nashville Police + Public Safety Alliance commissioned an independent report to compare Nashville's crime trends and police resources with those of nine peer cities — places we compete with for residents, jobs, tourism, and talent.
POLL: Public Safety Sentiment Assessment
The 2025 Public Safety Sentiment Assessment was conducted in September by Impact Research, a leading national opinion research firm. The survey included more than 1,000 Nashville adults and was administered in both English and Spanish via phone and text-to-web. The overall margin of error is ±3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
The Nashville Public Safety Data Dashboard
Using data from the Metro Nashville Police Department, The Alliance's quarterly-updated dashboard provides the public with crime statistics, long-term trends, and insights into community perceptions of public safety.
ANALYSIS OF SCHOOL SAFETY FEEDBACK
In partnership with Possip, The Alliance analyzed survey responses from Nashville parents and caregivers to better understand perceptions of school safety.
