STERLING HEIGHTS — Sterling Heights officials believe it’s safe to say yet again that their city is the safest big city in Michigan, based on recent FBI crime figures. In October, the city announced that it has the lowest number of total violent and property crimes among Michigan cities with populations over 100,000, based on the FBI’s 2023 crime stats. The other big cities in that class are Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Warren, Dearborn and Ann Arbor, Sterling Heights officials said. Sterling Heights had the lowest number among those cities for violent crime, which was tallied at 210. Sterling Heights’ violent crime totals were also lowest in all major subcategories, including murder/non-negligible homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. In addition, Sterling Heights had the lowest number of property crimes among the big cities, with 2,522. It also had the lowest numbers of burglaries and larcenies among those cities. Ann Arbor had the lowest number of reported auto thefts, at 162, compared to Sterling Heights’ 219. Sterling Heights’ 11 arsons placed the city just a bit above Ann Arbor and Dearborn, which each had 10. To compare Sterling Heights’ crime stats with its closest big-city See CRIME on page 18A
