Property crime: Butler County Sheriff's Office
Butler County Sheriff's Office reported 26 property crimes in 2025, or 215.6 per 100,000 of the 12,062 people it serves. The Iowa rate was 1,205.2. 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. Its reported figures changed by more than half from one shown year to the next in 2016 and 2017 and 2018 and 2019 and 2022 and 2023 and 2024 and 2025, which usually signals a change in reporting, so we do not compare across those years.
