What stands out about safety in Westmont

Westmont’s police figures aren’t in the FBI’s tables

Westmont has about 14,200 residents, but no police figures of its own appear in the FBI’s city tables for any recent year, so there’s no crime rate or Safety Grade. That usually means the department didn’t send a full year of reports. The county’s numbers below cover a wider area.

The towns next door have their own figures

Haddon, Collingswood, Haddonfield and Cherry Hill report to the FBI directly. Their grades range from B in Haddonfield to D in Audubon, so they’re a rough guide at best. Neighbors ↓

Written from the FBI data on this page. County and state agency figures cover their whole patrol area, not just this town, so they can’t be turned into a rate.

County figures

The county’s figures, for the wider area

Westmont’s own police figures aren’t in the FBI’s data. These are the numbers the Camden County Sheriff’s Office and the New Jersey State Police report for the parts of Camden County they patrol, which usually don’t include a town with its own police.

Camden County Sheriff’s Office

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

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

▼ Property crime down 34% since 2022
New Jersey State Police

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

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.
