Read from the numbers below. The page puts what stands out first.
Drexel Hill is covered by the state police
Drexel Hill has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Pennsylvania State Police, and their numbers cover the whole area they patrol, not just Drexel Hill.
The State Police also patrol Delaware County, mostly its rural roads and towns.
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.
