Whitefield is covered by the county
Whitefield has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Haskell County Sheriff’s Office, and its numbers cover the whole area it patrols, not just Whitefield.
Crimes reported in the parts of Haskell County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.
Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)
Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)
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.
