What stands out about safety in Roslyn

Roslyn is covered by the county and the state police

Roslyn 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 Nassau County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police. Across the whole area it patrols, the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office reported 10,494 property and 1,513 violent crimes in 2025, with property crime down 24% since 2022. The State Police aren’t in the FBI’s newest tables, so 2023 is their latest figure. Who patrols here ↓

The nearest towns with figures are close by

The closest towns that report to the FBI are Port Washington (2 mi), Old Westbury (3 mi) and Old Brookville (3 mi). Their grades run from A− to A+, so treat them as a rough guide, not a stand-in. Nearest towns ↓

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.

Who patrols here

Roslyn is covered by the county and the state

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

Nassau County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Nassau 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 24% since 2022▼ Violent crime down 13% since 2022
New York State Police

The State Police also patrol Nassau 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.
