How the places in Roanoke city rank across Virginia

Police departments in Roanoke city, 2025

Each department’s own report to the FBI; a dash means it did not report every month
Department	Residents served	Violent crimes	Property crimes
Roanoke Police Department	97,682	541	3,443
Roanoke County Police Department	89,625	142	874
Vinton Police Department	8,063	25	193

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.
