Safety in Minnehaha
Minnehaha doesn’t have its own police figures in the FBI’s data. A place this size usually has its own police department, so its reports are most likely missing from the FBI’s tables. Below are the county’s figures for the wider area, and the nearest towns that have their own numbers.
What stands out about safety in Minnehaha
Minnehaha’s police figures aren’t in the FBI’s tables
Minnehaha has about 11,500 residents, but no police figures of its own appear in the FBI’s city tables for any recent year, so there’s no crime rate or Safety Grade. That usually means the department didn’t send a full year of reports. The county’s numbers below cover a wider area.
The nearest towns with figures are close by
None of the towns bordering Minnehaha reports its own figures either. The closest towns that report to the FBI are Portland (8 mi), Battle Ground (9 mi) and Camas (10 mi). Their grades run from D− to A−, so treat them as a rough guide, not a stand-in. Nearest towns ↓
Written from the FBI data on this page. County and state agency figures cover their whole patrol area, not just this town, so they can’t be turned into a rate.
The county’s figures, for the wider area
Minnehaha’s own police figures aren’t in the FBI’s data. These are the numbers the Clark County Sheriff’s Office reports for the parts of Clark County it patrols, which usually don’t include a town with its own police.
Crimes reported in the parts of Clark 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 Clark County Sheriff’s Office isn’t in the FBI’s 2025 table (no full year reported), so 2024 is its newest figure.
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.
