Safety in Foster

Foster doesn’t have its own figures in the FBI’s crime data. Smaller towns are often patrolled by the county sheriff or state police, whose numbers cover a wider area, and some departments don’t report a full year.

Please don’t name or describe individuals. In an emergency, call 911.

Crime: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting Program, Crime Data Explorer: offenses known to law enforcement by city, and state and national rates. Counts are crimes reported to police, not convictions. 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.
