The county’s figures, for the wider area
Sugarmill Woods’s own police figures aren’t in the FBI’s data. These are the numbers the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office reports for the parts of Citrus County it patrols, which usually don’t include a town with its own police.
Crimes reported in the parts of Citrus County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.
The Citrus County Sheriff’s Office isn’t in the FBI’s 2023, 2024 and 2025 tables (no full year reported), so 2022 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.
