McNary is covered by the county
McNary has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Apache County Sheriff’s Office, and its numbers cover the whole area it patrols, not just McNary.
Crimes reported in the parts of Apache County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.
Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)
Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)
The Apache County Sheriff’s Office isn’t in the FBI’s 2025 table (no full year reported), so 2024 is its newest figure.
These are counts, not rates. The FBI doesn’t publish how many people each agency covers, so we can’t turn them into a per-resident figure or a Safety Grade. Source: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting, offenses known to law enforcement by county and by state agency.
