Crime in Washington is the lowest it has been since the 1960s, according to an analysis by the Metropolitan Police Department.

The District reported nearly 33,000 serious crimes last year, the lowest annual total since the FBI revised its reporting system in 1969, according to the report that focused on D.C. crime trends and police personnel for the years 2001 to 2005.
