Crime and safety in Fuquay-Varina: what the local data says
Independent research from official 2024 crime data for the Fuquay-Varina Police Department, population 47,436, plus what local police publish for residents.
Fuquay-Varina Police Department reported 274 property crimes in 2024, a rate of 5.8 per 1,000 residents. The North Carolina rate from the same FBI Crime Data Explorer data was about 20.1 per 1,000, and the national rate was about 17.7 per 1,000, so the town's reported property crime rate was well under a third of the state rate.123
Reported property crimes went from 327 in 2022 (8.4 per 1,000) to 266 in 2023 (6.0) and 274 in 2024 (5.8), so the count was roughly flat over the last two years while the population the department serves grew from 39,037 to 47,436. FBI figures for 2025, published in 2026, show 228 property crimes (4.6 per 1,000).1

Alarm rules and tips for Fuquay-Varina
Local alarm rules. In an April 2020 post, the FVPD police chief said the town did not have a false alarm registry or penalty system for burglar alarms, and that locations with numerous false alarms may be asked to have a responsible person respond to each activation or risk losing police response to future alarms. No newer burglar alarm registration rule was found. For fire alarms, the town's FY 2026-2027 fee schedule lists a $150 charge on the 4th false fire alarm within 90 days (after written notice), rising $50 for each additional false alarm in that period. Source.
Registration. Many Triangle towns ask monitored alarm systems to be registered and charge for repeat false alarms. Our alarm registration guide has the current rules and links, and we help you register when we install.
Switching companies. Already have a system? Wired sensors can often be reused with a new panel. Some panels are locked by the old dealer; we check on the visit and tell you plainly. How switching works.
