Safety & Crime

Dutton-specific 2024 FBI crime rates were not available as a complete municipal dataset in the sources reviewed. ZIP code 35744 is a postal geography rather than a police jurisdiction, so ZIP-level figures should not be treated as property-specific or municipal crime rates.

For broader context, 2024 FBI UCR data compiled at the Jackson County level reported offenses from participating law-enforcement agencies, including violent-crime and property-crime categories. Countywide figures cover a much larger geography than the property and should be interpreted accordingly.
