What stands out about safety in Modjeska

Read from the numbers below. The page puts what stands out first.

Who patrols here

Modjeska is covered by the county

Modjeska has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, and its numbers cover the whole area it patrols, not just Modjeska.

Orange County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Orange County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

▼ Property crime down 41% since 2022▲ Violent crime up 18% since 2022

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.
