In 2025, the police departments that report for Orange County recorded 8,334 violent and 42,245 property crimes, 264 and 1,336 per 100,000 residents.

Every department with residents of its own in the county reported every month that year.

The county figure adds up its city and town police, its sheriff and any state police with residents of their own; a university or transit force is left out, because the people it serves are already counted by the town around them.

The FBI asks that these figures not be used to rank places or to judge how safe a neighborhood is.
