Cleveland may be one of the 11 most dangerous cities, but its police department has reported a reduction in nearly all violent and property crimes since 2006. Between 2006 and 2010, the annual number of homicides has dropped 40 percent, and the number of motor vehicle thefts has dropped 46 percent. The only reported increase has been in burglary, which increased two percent over that period.
