Below the New Jersey rate, even with the crowds
Beaches draw people from elsewhere. Their incidents count against Greenwich’s 5,100 residents, which usually pushes a town’s rate up. Even so, Greenwich reported 10.9 crimes per 1,000 in 2025, against 14.7 across New Jersey. How to read it ↓
Written from the FBI data on this page. Figures are crimes reported to police, 2022–2025, not convictions; 2024 is missing because the department didn’t report a full year.
What this data can and can’t tell you
- It’s reported crime. Only incidents reported to and recorded by police appear here. Many thefts and some assaults are never reported.
- Small numbers swing. In a town of about 5,100, a handful of incidents moves the rate noticeably from year to year. The trend matters more than any one year.
- Visitors count too. Beaches draw people from elsewhere. Their incidents are counted against Greenwich’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
Not graded yet
A grade needs all of the FBI's latest years (2023–2025). Greenwich's police department reported only 2023 and 2025, so we don't grade it yet. The figures below are still real.
