What stands out about safety in Kingsford

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

Who patrols here

Kingsford is covered by the state police

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

Michigan State Police

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

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

▼ Property crime down 43% 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.
