Property crime: Madison County Sheriff's Office

Madison County Sheriff's Office reported 662 property crimes in 2025, or 889.9 per 100,000 of the 74,391 people it serves. The Illinois rate was 1,556.3. As a county agency it usually serves only the areas without their own city police, so its population and rate are not comparable with a city's. The agency's rate was up 4.7% from 2024, down 38.5% from 2019. Its reported figures changed by more than half from one shown year to the next in 2016, which usually signals a change in reporting, so we do not compare across that year.

A year is shown only when the agency reported all 12 months and the months look complete: we leave out years with several empty months, most offenses in one month or one half of the year, or a total far below the usual level for that agency. Agency type: County. County: Madison. FBI agency identifier (ORI): IL0600000.

Read with care. Counts are offenses reported to this agency. Places with many visitors, shoppers or commuters can show high rates because rates use resident population only. Neighboring areas may be covered by a county sheriff or state police.
