It's important to remember that crime statistics represent reported incidents and may not capture the full picture of criminal activity. While the figures indicate a relatively low risk, vigilance and awareness remain important. This data only reflects the crime rate for the period available and does not represent a long-term trend. Further investigation into the types of crimes reported and specific local safety initiatives would provide a more nuanced understanding of the area's safety profile. Local community groups and the Suffolk Constabulary are valuable resources for staying informed about local safety concerns and initiatives.
