What stands out about safety in Eaton Township
Eaton Township is covered by the county and the state
Eaton Township has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office and the Pennsylvania State Police, and their numbers cover the whole area they patrol, not just Eaton Township.
Crimes reported in the parts of Wyoming County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.
Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)
Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)
The Wyoming County Sheriff’s Office isn’t in the FBI’s 2025 table (no full year reported), so 2024 is its newest figure.
The State Police also patrol Wyoming 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.
