Middleborough is covered by the state police

Middleborough has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Massachusetts State Police, and their numbers cover the whole area they patrol, not just Middleborough.

Massachusetts State Police

The State Police also patrol Plymouth County, mostly its rural roads and towns.

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

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.
