Safety in Oma
Oma doesn’t have its own police figures in the FBI’s data. It’s most likely covered by the Iron County Sheriff’s Office. Below is what it reports.
Oma is covered by the county
Oma has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Iron County Sheriff’s Office, and its numbers cover the whole area it patrols, not just Oma.
Crimes reported in the parts of Iron County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.
The Iron County Sheriff’s Office isn’t in the FBI’s 2023, 2024 and 2025 tables (no full year reported), so 2022 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.
