Burglaries in unincorporated Kitsap County fell 22% last year.
Burglaries dropped from 447 incidents in 2024 to 349 in 2025, a 22% decrease, and a fraction of the 972 burglaries the county logged in 2016, the comparison point the report itself highlights.

Burglaries, car thefts and robberies all dropped double digits in Kitsap County's new 2025 crime report. The Sheriff's Office says one number worries them more than any that fell.
