In 2024, there were 83 reported cases, a decline from 88 in 2023 and 99 in 2022. This trend reflects a year-over-year change of -5.7%, indicating a positive movement towards improved public safety.
Several factors may contribute to this decrease. Palencia, with a population density lower than many urban areas, may benefit from a relatively stable crime environment. Additionally, the region's mix of tourism and industry could play a role in promoting a safer community, as increased economic activity often leads to enhanced public safety measures.

The decline in Palencia stands out as a positive anomaly, suggesting effective local law enforcement strategies. Ongoing monitoring and community engagement will be essential to maintain and further improve these trends.
