Shamong is covered by the county and the state

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

Burlington County Sheriff’s Office

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

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

New Jersey State Police

▼ Property crime down 18% since 2024▼ Violent crime down 37% since 2024

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.
