What stands out about safety in Floridatown

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

Who patrols here

Floridatown is covered by the county

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

Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Santa Rosa 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 25% since 2023▲ Violent crime up 11% since 2023

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.
