Ronald is covered by the county and the state

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

Ionia County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Ionia County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.

Property crimes
207
in Ionia County, 2024
Violent crimes
41
in Ionia County, 2024

The Ionia County Sheriff’s Office isn’t in the FBI’s 2025 table (no full year reported), so 2024 is its newest figure.

Michigan State Police

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

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

▲ Property crime up 10% since 2022→ Violent crime about the same 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.
