Woodmere is covered by the county and the state

Woodmere 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 Woodmere.

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.
