Twin Falls, Idaho (KMVT-TV) The Idaho State Bureau of Criminal Identification just released its Crime in Idaho report. The report gathers statistics from around the state.

While the Magic Valley boasts a crime rate lower than the state average...

"which is the good news."

The same cannot be said for Twin Falls County.
 
Capt. Rob Storm, Idaho State Police says, "the highest in the area is Twin Falls County which is inclusive of all the towns."

Twin Falls has a crime rate of 6,200 per 100,000 population, higher than the state average of 5,200.

Overall in the state of Idaho, one in 19 will be a victim of a crime.

Storm adds, "it's important for citizens to know what's going on in their areas and their jurisdictions and their police department and sheriff's departments."
 
Class A crimes, including drugs, theft and larceny are up slightly, but violent crimes are down five percent from 2010.

"If you're a victim of a crime, a class a crime, it's most likely a larceny, a burglary or vandalism or some sort of force crime, battery or assault crime," he says.

Camas and Lincoln Counties have some of the lowest crime rates in the state and looking at these numbers can be accomplished with just a click of a mouse.

Storms says, "when you go to the website, make sure you look at the five year stats for each county, you get a bigger picture than a looking year to year and you have a bigger overall view of what's going on statewide and your individual county."
