Daily crime statistics show 2 reported incidents per day on average, a figure that, while modest, aligns with the area's low overall rate compared to national averages.

When scaled to the population of 8,417, this suggests a relatively low frequency of crime, though the increase from March indicates a need for continued monitoring. The population context highlights that while the absolute number of crimes remains small, the upward trend in specific categories—particularly violence and public order offences—demands attention. This contrast between the area's overall safety and the rise in particular types of crime underscores the importance of targeted policing and community engagement strategies tailored to local needs.
