Why we checked itA specific claim that crime is declining nationally but not in Colorado — verifiable against crime statistics from FBI or state sources
What we foundThe core factual direction is partially right — Colorado did underperform the national crime decline in 2024 — but the claim that crime fell 'everywhere except right here in Colorado' is an exaggeration, as Colorado's violent crime did fall slightly (-1.8%), and property crime rising in Colorado was one of several state anomalies, not a unique Colorado exception.
