Safety in Hampton
Hampton doesn’t have its own police figures in the FBI’s data. It’s most likely covered by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police. Below is what they report, along with the nearest towns that have their own numbers.
Hampton is covered by the county and the state
Hampton has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police, and their numbers cover the whole area they patrol, not just Hampton.
Crimes reported in the parts of Washington County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.
Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)
Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)
The State Police also patrol Washington County, mostly its rural roads and towns.
Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)
Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)
The State Police aren’t in the FBI’s 2024 and 2025 tables (no full year reported), so 2023 is their newest figure.
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.
