Who patrols here

Richfield is covered by the county and the state

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

Juniata County Sheriff’s Office

Crimes reported in the parts of Juniata 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 Juniata County, mostly its rural roads and towns.

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

→ Property crime about the same since 2022▼ Violent crime down 26% since 2022

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.
