No county-wide total is published here: the residents the FBI counts for these departments do not match the Census Bureau’s count for the county (a department here also serves another county, or a state police troop is listed here), so a total would not be accurate.
The FBI asks that these figures not be used to rank places or to judge how safe a neighborhood is.
