Photo: Ntsimp · Public domainReported crime per resident in Roy fell 25% from 2023 to 2025
Overall, Roy grades B for safety (#28 of 62 graded towns in Utah): close to the middle of U.S. towns, on crimes its police reported to the FBI in 2023–2025.
Crimes reported to the FBI per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. “Rest of UT” is every other Utah city and town in the FBI’s tables; the U.S. figure is the FBI’s national estimate as published, averaged over the three years. The FBI publishes no national homicide or robbery rate in our data, so those compare with all U.S. cities and towns in its tables.

62 violent and 293 property, as reported to the FBI by Roy’s police.
2025 offenses reported
Offenses reported to police, not convictions. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting. The last row is counted outside the property total.
12 people died in crashes on Roy’s roads in 2019–2023
Roy had 12 fatal crashes in five years, in which 12 people died; 1 was a pedestrian and 1 was a cyclist. 2 died in crashes on an Interstate.
That is 6.2 deaths per 100,000 residents a year, above the median for Utah towns of 25,000–100,000 people (3.8, 34 towns).
Deaths are counted where the crash happened, not where the people lived: a highway through town adds through-traffic deaths, and residents’ own risk on roads elsewhere isn’t here. Town rates sit below state and U.S. rates because a third of fatal crashes happen outside any town. Road safety is described here and is not part of the Safety Grade.

What this data can and can’t tell you
- It’s reported crime. Only incidents reported to and recorded by police appear here. Many crimes are never reported to police.
- One number for all of Roy. A town-wide rate doesn’t show where incidents happen, and that can differ a lot from one part of town to another.
- Visitors count too. Incidents involving people who work, shop or visit are counted against Roy’s residents, which raises the per-resident rate.
- Whose population. Rates use the FBI’s population for the department (38,569 in 2025); our figure for Roy is 38,794 (2025 Census estimate).
- Gaps are real gaps. A missing year means the department didn’t report a full year, not that nothing happened.
