Frodsham Crime Rate April 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Frodsham’s crime rate in April 2025 stood at 5.5 per 1,000 residents, a figure 28.6% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This marked improvement underscores the area’s continued performance in maintaining safety, despite seasonal fluctuations. The most prevalent crime types were violence and sexual offences (15 incidents, 29.4% of total), followed by public order offences (12, 23.5%) and anti-social behaviour (7, 13.7%). These figures align with Frodsham’s character as a built-up area within Cheshire West and Chester, where community dynamics and local policing efforts likely contribute to lower violent crime rates. The seasonal context of April—Easter celebrations, spring weather, and increased outdoor activity—may have influenced crime patterns. For instance, the relatively low rate of shoplifting (0.2 per 1,000) compared to the UK average of 0.7 per 1,000 could reflect Frodsham’s retail environment, which may be less concentrated than in larger urban centres. Meanwhile, the higher prevalence of public order offences suggests potential challenges in managing community interactions during peak social periods, such as Easter events or local festivals. These trends highlight the need for targeted interventions, particularly in addressing public order issues without compromising the area’s overall safety achievements.

April 2025 saw a stark rise in public order offences, surging from 3 to 12 incidents—a 300% increase—highlighting a shift in the local crime profile. This spike, coupled with a 200% rise in both drugs-related crimes and criminal damage and arson, contrasts with a notable decline in burglary, which fell by 66.7% from 3 to 1 incident. These fluctuations suggest evolving patterns, possibly influenced by seasonal factors such as increased outdoor activity during Easter and spring weather. Violent crimes, however, remained 39% below the UK average at 1.6 per 1,000, indicating a continued focus on safety in Frodsham. The dramatic increase in public order offences, which now account for 23.5% of all crimes, may reflect heightened community interactions or events during the month, though further analysis is needed to confirm direct causes. Residents may find the 66.7% drop in burglary particularly reassuring, as it aligns with Frodsham’s broader trend of maintaining lower rates than national benchmarks.

Frodsham’s crime rate in April 2025 rose by 50.0% compared to March 2025, moving from 3.7 to 5.5 per 1,000 residents. While this increase is notable, the area still maintains a significantly lower rate than the UK average, which stood at 7.7 per 1,000. Locally, the average daily crime count in April was approximately 2 incidents per day, reflecting a consistent but manageable level of activity. Over the course of the month, 1 reported crime occurred for roughly every 182 residents, illustrating that the majority of residents experienced no crime. This monthly exposure metric places Frodsham in a relatively safer position compared to many UK areas, even with the upward trend. The population context further highlights that with 9,293 residents, the absolute number of crimes remains low, suggesting that local initiatives or community resilience may be contributing to sustained safety despite the recent rise.
