Frodsham Crime Rate October 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Frodsham's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 4.8 per 1,000 residents, placing it 37.7% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This marked disparity from the national picture underscores the area's relatively low crime profile, though the data reveals a complex mix of crime types that warrant closer examination. Violence and sexual offences dominated the monthly tally, accounting for 48.9% of all reported crimes, a proportion significantly higher than the UK average of 2.7 per 1,000. This concentration of violent crime may reflect local social patterns or demographic factors. Public order offences, at 1.0 per 1,000, were 89% above the UK average, suggesting a notable divergence in policing priorities or community dynamics. Anti-social behaviour, meanwhile, remained 60% below the national rate, illustrating Frodsham's generally lower incidence of such disturbances. Seasonal factors may also play a role, with October's shorter daylight hours and Halloween-related activity contributing to the elevated levels of violence and public order incidents. While these figures remain well below the UK average, the high proportion of violent crime highlights areas for targeted intervention. The overall crime rate, though low, shows a slight upward trend compared to the previous month, indicating the need for continued monitoring of these patterns. This data provides a snapshot of Frodsham's crime profile, offering insights into both its strengths and potential vulnerabilities in comparison to the broader UK context.

October 2025 saw sharp fluctuations in specific crime categories, with vehicle crime surging by 200% (from 1 to 3 incidents) and other theft and shoplifting each doubling from zero to one and two incidents respectively. These increases, though small in absolute terms, signal potential shifts in criminal activity patterns. Conversely, burglary and criminal damage both fell sharply, with burglary dropping 80% (from 5 to 1 incidents) and criminal damage and arson decreasing by 50% (from 2 to 1). This contrast suggests that while some crime types are rising, others are declining, possibly reflecting seasonal changes such as darker evenings post-October clocks changing or Halloween-related activity. Public order offences in Frodsham were 89% above the UK average, a stark deviation that may relate to local social dynamics or enforcement priorities. Residents should be aware that while overall crime remains low, targeted vigilance around vehicle security and public spaces may be warranted given the recent spikes in specific categories.

Frodsham's crime rate in October 2025 rose by 25.1% compared to the previous month, moving from 3.9 to 4.8 per 1,000 residents. This increase, though notable, remains significantly below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. On a daily basis, Frodsham recorded approximately one crime per day over the month, reflecting a low-frequency pattern consistent with its built-up area status within Cheshire West and Chester. When scaled to the population of 9,293, this translates to one reported crime occurring for roughly every 207 residents over the course of October. This monthly exposure rate highlights the relatively low level of criminal activity in Frodsham compared to both national benchmarks and its own historical trends. The population context further underscores that even with the month-on-month rise, Frodsham remains a safer area than the UK average, with crime rates continuing to fall well below the national level. This contrast may be influenced by local factors such as community policing initiatives or demographic characteristics.
