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.

Figures are published by the US Census Bureau, HUD, the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the FBI; Seayora reproduces them and does not adjust them, except where a sentence says it compares dollar figures after inflation. They describe the whole place, not any one building or street, and are not an appraisal, a rent determination, a tax bill, a safety rating or legal advice.
