What stands out about safety in Stannards
Stannards is covered by the county and the state police
Stannards 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 Allegany County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Police. Across the whole area it patrols, the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office reported 11 property and 2 violent crimes in 2025. The State Police aren’t in the FBI’s newest tables, so 2023 is their latest figure. Who patrols here ↓
