What stands out about safety in Red Oaks Mill

Red Oaks Mill is covered by the county and the state police

Red Oaks Mill has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data, so there’s no crime rate or Safety Grade for the town itself. Calls here most likely go to the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police. Across the whole area it patrols, the Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office reported 324 property and 38 violent crimes in 2025. The State Police aren’t in the FBI’s newest tables, so 2023 is their latest figure. Who patrols here ↓

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

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

▲ Property crime up 29% since 2022▼ Violent crime down 39% since 2022

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.
