Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — In his State of the City speech, Mayor Tim Keller pointed to falling crime rates and economic progress. Data shows fewer homicides and property crimes in 2025 compared to 2024. However, some residents say the numbers don’t reflect their daily experiences. Concerns about safety continue to shape how people live, socialize, and explore the city. Mayoral challengers agree: improving quality of life starts with restoring public trust in safety.
