What stands out about safety in Glenns Ferry

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

Who patrols here

Glenns Ferry is covered by the county

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

Elmore County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Elmore 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 100% since 2022▼ Violent crime down 47% since 2022

The Elmore 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.
