Who patrols here

New Morgan is covered by the county and the state

New Morgan has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Berks County Sheriff’s Office and the Pennsylvania State Police, and their numbers cover the whole area they patrol, not just New Morgan.

Berks County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Berks County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

Pennsylvania State Police

The State Police also patrol Berks County, mostly its rural roads and towns.

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.

The Safety Grade is our own summary of that data, not an official rating. Natural hazards: FEMA National Risk Index and flood insurance claims. Hospitals: CMS Hospital General Information.
