Sandhurst (Bracknell Forest) Crime Rate November 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Sandhurst (Bracknell Forest) maintained a crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents in November 2025, a figure 63% below the UK average of 7.3. This sustained safety record is evident across multiple categories, with violence and sexual offences (17 incidents, 30.4% of total) and anti-social behaviour (13, 23.2%) dominating the breakdown. The area’s low crime profile is further reinforced by its performance against national benchmarks: violence and sexual offences are 69% below the UK average, while anti-social behaviour remains 43% below. Seasonal factors, including Bonfire Night and dark evenings, likely influenced the 100% increase in public order offences, which rose from zero to eight incidents. Despite these fluctuations, Sandhurst’s overall crime rate remains well below the UK average, a trend consistent with its character as a built-up area within Bracknell Forest. The month’s data also reflects the impact of Black Friday shopping, with other theft rising by 25% and shoplifting falling sharply by 66.7% (from three to one incident). These patterns suggest that while localised spikes may occur, the area’s broader safety record remains robust. The low crime rate is further contextualised by the UK’s overall average, which highlights Sandhurst’s position as a relatively secure location for residents.

Public order offences saw a dramatic 100% increase in November 2025, jumping from zero to eight incidents. This spike, though still below the UK average of 0.5 per 1,000, may partly explain the area’s seasonal challenges during Bonfire Night and dark evenings. Other theft also rose by 25%, reflecting a shift in crime patterns that could be linked to increased foot traffic during Black Friday shopping. Conversely, violence and sexual offences fell by 26.1%, from 23 to 17, aligning with a UK average of 2.6 per 1,000 and remaining 69% below the national benchmark. This contrast between rising and falling categories highlights the complexity of local crime dynamics, with anti-social behaviour (23.2% of total crimes) and violence (30.4%) dominating the breakdown. Residents are advised to remain cautious in public spaces, particularly during late-night events.

Sandhurst's November 2025 crime rate of 2.7 per 1,000 residents marks a 12.5% decrease from the previous month's 3.1, reflecting a sustained trend of lower-than-average crime levels. Over the course of November, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 365 residents, illustrating a low monthly exposure rate that is consistent with the area’s overall safety profile. On a daily basis, the local figure of two crimes per day highlights the relatively infrequent nature of incidents in this built-up area, though residents should remain vigilant during peak times. The population context further reinforces this pattern: with 20,457 residents, the 56 total crimes reported represent a manageable volume compared to larger urban centres. This comparative analysis underscores that while Sandhurst remains significantly safer than the UK average, specific categories such as public order offences may require closer attention due to their recent upward trajectory.
