Topeka Crime Drops Thanks to Community | Topeka News

Topeka’s crime numbers are dropping fast—overall crime down 34%, violent crime 18%, and homicides are falling too. Chief Chris Vallejo credits the progress to a smarter, more intentional police strategy—and crucially, to the community. Residents, officers, and local groups like the Capital Peace Project are all playing key roles. Vallejo’s open-door approach keeps residents engaged, and he’s proud of the teamwork driving this success. Another report is coming later this year to see if the momentum continues.
