Fleet Crime Rate June 2025 | Monthly Statistics

For every 1,000 residents in Fleet, 3.9 crimes were reported in June 2025 — placing the area 51.9% below the UK average of 8.1 per 1,000. This rate translates to a daily risk of approximately 5 crimes per 1,000 residents, or 1 crime for every 260 residents over the course of the month. The area’s crime profile in June highlights a mix of violent and non-violent incidents, with violence and sexual offences (1.5 per 1,000) making up nearly 40% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour (0.6 per 1,000) and public order offences (0.5 per 1,000). These figures suggest a community grappling with persistent challenges in public safety, despite being significantly safer than the national average. The seasonal context of June — the start of summer — may influence patterns: longer daylight hours could contribute to increased outdoor activity, affecting public order and anti-social behaviour rates. However, the absence of a significant spike in property crimes compared to the UK average (where vehicle crime is 0.4 per 1,000 versus 0.1 per 1,000 in Fleet) indicates that local factors may be more influential than seasonal ones. Fleet’s relatively low crime rate, particularly in property-related categories, could be linked to its status as a built-up area within Hart, where urban planning and community engagement may play a role in deterring certain types of crime.

June 2025 saw notable shifts in Fleet’s crime profile, with some categories rising while others fell. Possession of weapons surged by 100%, marking a rare increase in a category that was previously non-existent. This could reflect heightened awareness or reporting, though the single incident remains an outlier. Vehicle crime rose by 50%, potentially linked to increased summer travel or changes in parking patterns. Anti-social behaviour also increased by 35%, a trend that may be connected to the start of the summer season and the associated rise in public gatherings. Conversely, drugs-related offences dropped by 42.9%, due to targeted enforcement efforts or seasonal factors affecting illicit activity. Violence and sexual offences fell by 12.3%, a decrease that may be attributed to community initiatives or the natural fluctuation of incidents in a relatively low-crime area. Fleet’s violent crime rate (1.5 per 1,000) is 48% below the UK average, suggesting that local interventions or demographic factors may be contributing to this gap. The contrast between Fleet’s performance and the UK average is stark: for example, anti-social behaviour is 58% below the national rate, and shoplifting is 68% below. These figures indicate that Fleet’s approach to community safety, whether through policing, social services, or local engagement, may be yielding measurable results.

Fleet’s crime rate in June 2025 (3.9 per 1,000) reflects a 4.2% decrease from the previous month’s rate of 4.0 per 1,000, signaling a slight but consistent trend of decline. On a daily basis, the area experienced an average of 5 crimes per day — a figure that, while low, underscores the ongoing need for vigilance in maintaining public safety. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 260 residents, a ratio that provides a concrete measure of risk for individuals living in the area. This monthly exposure rate, though modest, contextualizes the impact of crime on a per-person basis, making it easier for residents to grasp the likelihood of encountering a crime. When compared to the UK average, Fleet’s performance is striking: for instance, violent crime rates are 48% below the national average, and anti-social behaviour is 58% lower. These figures highlight the area’s relative success in managing crime, even as it navigates the challenges of a summer season that typically brings increased foot traffic and social activity. The combination of a declining trend, low per-capita risk, and a crime profile that is consistently below national benchmarks suggests that Fleet’s residents may perceive their environment as safer than the average UK citizen, despite the presence of occasional spikes in specific categories like possession of weapons.
