Coppull's crime rate in October 2025 stood at 4.9 per 1,000 residents, a figure 36.4% below the UK average of 7.7 per 1,000. This rate reflects a continued trend of relative safety in the area, though the breakdown of crime types reveals a complex picture. Violence and sexual offences accounted for 36.6% of all incidents, a proportion significantly lower than the UK average for this category. Anti-social behaviour, however, remained 35% above the UK average, indicating a persistent issue in the built-up area. The seasonal context of October—darker evenings, the transition to British Summer Time, and the approach of Halloween—may have influenced crime patterns. For instance, the drop in burglary and public order offences could be tied to reduced foot traffic during darker hours, while the increase in possession of weapons may reflect a different dynamic. The area's low overall crime rate suggests that local factors, such as community engagement or effective policing, may contribute to its safety, though further analysis is needed to confirm these connections. The relatively small population of 8,321 also means that even modest changes in crime numbers can have a noticeable effect on the rate, making it a sensitive indicator for local authorities.

October 2025 saw a sharp decline in burglary and public order offences, with both categories falling by two-thirds compared to the previous month. Burglary dropped from six to two incidents, while public order offences fell from three to one.

Conversely, possession of weapons rose by 100% in the same period, marking a significant spike in this category. Anti-social behaviour, though down by a third, remained 35% above the UK average, indicating a persistent challenge in this area. Violent crimes, which accounted for 36.6% of all offences, were 32% below the UK average for violence and sexual offences, suggesting that local measures may be effective in curbing such incidents. These shifts in crime patterns highlight the need for targeted interventions in specific categories.

Coppull's crime rate in October 2025 fell by 30.5% compared to the previous month, dropping from 7.1 to 4.9 per 1,000 residents. This decline suggests a marked improvement in local safety. below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area saw roughly one crime reported each day in October, a figure that, while low, reflects the small population of 8,321. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 203 residents, a monthly exposure rate that underscores the relatively low frequency of incidents in this built-up area. When scaled to the local population, the crime rate highlights the effectiveness of community policing or seasonal factors, such as reduced foot traffic during darker evenings. These figures provide a tangible sense of security for residents, with the daily crime count being particularly useful for understanding the practical impact of the statistics on daily life.
