What stands out about safety in Joslin

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

Who patrols here

Joslin is covered by the county

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

Rock Island County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Rock Island 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 16% since 2022▲ Violent crime up 123% 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.

Crime: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Crime Data Explorer: offenses known to law enforcement by city, and state and national rates. Counts are crimes reported to police, not convictions. The Safety Grade is our own summary of that data, not an official rating. Natural hazards: FEMA National Risk Index and flood insurance claims. Hospitals: CMS Hospital General Information.
