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

Who patrols here

Trail Side is covered by the county

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

Morgan County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Morgan 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 up 38% 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.
