Jurisdictions overlap. These agencies are also recorded against the same county, so a single address may be covered by more than one of them.

Agency identity, type, jurisdiction, coordinates and reporting status are as published by the FBI Crime Data Explorer, agency record SC0070100. Police Census reproduces these values without adjustment. Where the FBI publishes nothing, this page says so rather than estimating.
