Schuylkill is covered by the county and the state

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

Schuylkill County Sheriff’s Office

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

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

▲ Property crime up 107% since 2022▲ Violent crime up 417% 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.

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. This isn’t an official statement of public safety. In an emergency, call 911.
