Safety in Blackhoof
Blackhoof doesn’t have its own police figures in the FBI’s data. It’s most likely covered by the Carlton County Sheriff’s Office. Below is what it reports, along with the nearest towns that have their own numbers.
Blackhoof is covered by the county
Blackhoof has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Carlton County Sheriff’s Office, and its numbers cover the whole area it patrols, not just Blackhoof.
Crimes reported in the parts of Carlton County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.
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.
