Coppull's June 2024 crime rate of 5.2 per 1,000 residents places it 36.6% below the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000, a significant disparity that reflects the area's generally low crime profile. Violence and sexual offences emerged as the most common category, accounting for 39.5% of all reported crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (23.3%) and criminal damage and arson (11.6%). This breakdown illustrates a mix of violent and property-related incidents, with the latter group remaining below national averages. The seasonal context of June—marking the start of summer and longer daylight hours—may influence patterns, though direct links to tourism or seasonal activity. While anti-social behaviour and public order offences remained below UK averages, the surge in criminal damage and arson raises questions about local factors, such as increased outdoor activity or property vulnerabilities. The overall crime rate, though slightly higher than May's 5.1 per 1,000, remains in a low bracket relative to larger urban centres, suggesting that Coppull's built-up area maintains a safer environment compared to the national context.

June saw a 150% increase in criminal damage and arson, with incidents rising from 2 to 5. This surge, while modest in absolute terms, may partly reflect seasonal patterns as summer activities intensify in the area. Burglary also doubled from zero to two incidents, a shift that could signal changing patterns in property crime. Conversely, other theft decreased by 33.3%, from three to two cases, suggesting some crime types remain subdued. Violence and sexual offences fell by 19%, from 21 to 17, though they still constitute the largest single category at 39.5% of total crimes. Anti-social behaviour remained 14% below the UK average at 1.2 per 1,000, a figure that residents may find reassuring despite the overall increase in crime rate.

Coppull's crime rate in June 2024 rose slightly to 5.2 per 1,000 residents, a 2.4% increase from May's 5.1 per 1,000. This represents one reported crime for every 194 residents over the course of the month, a figure that contextualises the scale of incidents relative to the local population. On a daily basis, the area experienced approximately one crime per day, a rate that aligns with the low overall crime profile typical of smaller built-up areas. While the increase is modest, it contrasts with the broader UK context, where Coppull remains significantly safer than the national average. The population-scaled perspective highlights that residents are far less likely to encounter crime compared to the UK average, with violent crime rates in Coppull 28% below the national benchmark. This underscores the area's relative safety, even as localised shifts in crime patterns warrant attention.
