What stands out about safety in Sparrow Bush

Sparrow Bush is covered by the county and the state police

Sparrow Bush 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 Orange County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police. Across the whole area it patrols, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office reported 10 property and 1 violent crimes in 2025. The State Police aren’t in the FBI’s newest tables, so 2023 is their latest figure. Who patrols here ↓

The towns next door have their own figures

Deerpark and Port Jervis report to the FBI directly. Their grades range from A in Deerpark to C in Port Jervis, 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.

Who patrols here

Sparrow Bush is covered by the county and the state

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

Orange County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Orange 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 York State Police

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

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

→ Property crime about the same since 2022▼ Violent crime down 18% 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.
