Who patrols here

Pittsgrove is covered by the county and the state

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

Salem County Sheriff’s Office

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.
