Safety & Crime

The most useful publicly available figures are reported at the county level rather than for the individual property. For 2024, Scott County agencies reported 28 violent offenses and 44 property offenses in one FBI UCR-derived county compilation. Because the reported counts are relatively small and reporting coverage can vary, these figures should be treated as historical county-level data rather than as a property-specific safety measure or ranking.

The Scott County Sheriff’s Department provides countywide law-enforcement and patrol services. Emergency services are dispatched through the county’s emergency communications system.
