The city's violent crime rate works out to 3.7 per 100,000 residents, while the property crime rate reaches 290.9 per 100,000.

Property crime splits into larceny-theft (66), burglary (11), motor vehicle theft (2), and arson (0).

Against the national violent crime average, Randolph Township runs 99% below the US benchmark, and 98% below the New Jersey statewide rate. Translated to per-capita risk, the 2024 figures imply roughly a 1 in 339 statistical chance of being named in a crime report that year, narrowing to 1 in 27,159 for a violent offense. UCR figures reflect offenses reported to and submitted by local law enforcement and may undercount unreported crime.

These figures come from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program, which compiles offenses voluntarily submitted by local law enforcement agencies. Rates are expressed per 100,000 residents so a small town and a large city sit on the same scale, 50 burglaries mean something very different in a town of 2,000 than in a city of 500,000. Two caveats matter when reading any city's numbers. First, a year with missing or partial agency reporting can understate true crime, so a sudden drop sometimes reflects a reporting gap rather than a real safety gain. Second, UCR counts reported offenses, not convictions, and many crimes are never reported at all. Treat a grade as one input among several, not a final verdict on a place.
