Written from the FBI data on this page. County and state agency figures cover their whole patrol area, not just this town, so they can’t be turned into a rate.
Hymera is covered by the county
Hymera has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office, and its numbers cover the whole area it patrols, not just Hymera.
Crimes reported in the parts of Sullivan County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.
Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)
Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)
The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office isn’t in the FBI’s 2024 and 2025 tables (no full year reported), so 2023 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.
