Tandridge Crime Rate June 2024 | Monthly Statistics

Tandridge's overall crime rate in June 2024 stood at 5.8 per 1,000 residents, marking a significant 29.3% reduction compared to the UK average of 8.2 per 1,000. This figure underscores the area's relatively safer profile, particularly notable given its geographical and demographic characteristics. The top three crime categories were violence and sexual offences (173 incidents, 32.8% of total crimes), anti-social behaviour (108 incidents, 20.5%), and public order offences (56 incidents, 10.6%). Violence and sexual offences in Tandridge were 31% below the UK average, reflecting a combination of local policing strategies and community engagement efforts. The seasonal context of June, with its longer days and the onset of summer tourism, may have influenced patterns, though the area's crime rate remained lower than national trends. Anti-social behaviour, while still a concern, was 14% below the UK average, suggesting effective interventions in managing public order. The low rates of shoplifting (52% below UK average) and vehicle crime (33% below UK average) further highlight a crime profile that diverges from typical urban centres, potentially due to Tandridge's suburban or semi-rural character. These figures collectively indicate a persistent commitment to maintaining safety, even as seasonal dynamics shift.

June 2024 saw notable reductions in several crime categories, with vehicle crime decreasing by 35.1% (37 to 24) and possession of weapons dropping sharply by 77.8% (9 to 2). These declines may reflect targeted enforcement or seasonal factors, such as reduced vehicle movement during summer. Conversely, shoplifting surged by 141.7% (12 to 29), a stark increase that could be linked to the start of the tourism season, with visitors contributing to retail-related offences. Robbery also rose by 50.0% (2 to 3), though this remains a rare occurrence given the overall low rate. The mix of crimes shifted slightly, with violent offences (32.8% of total) maintaining dominance over property crimes (26.9% of total). Tandridge's anti-social behaviour rate (1.2 per 1,000) was 14% below the UK average, a statistic that might resonate with local residents concerned about public order. This contrast between rising shoplifting and falling vehicle crime illustrates a dynamic interplay of local conditions. The sharp drop in bicycle theft (66.7% decrease) could signal improved security measures or reduced demand during warmer months.

Tandridge's crime rate in June 2024 (5.8 per 1,000) was 5.8% higher than the previous month's rate (5.5 per 1,000), reflecting a modest upward trend. However, this increase remains well within the bounds of a consistently low overall rate, which is still 29.3% below the UK average. On a daily basis, the area recorded approximately 18 crimes per day, a figure that, while representing a local context, must be considered alongside the area's population of 90,586. This translates to one reported crime for every 172 residents over the course of the month—a monthly exposure rate that is markedly lower than the UK average. The slight rise in crime compared to May may be attributed to seasonal factors, such as the influx of tourists in coastal or rural areas. For residents, the 1-in-172 monthly exposure figure provides a concrete benchmark for assessing personal risk. The comparison to the UK average also highlights Tandridge's effectiveness in managing crime, particularly in categories like vehicle crime and shoplifting, where rates are significantly lower. This suggests a combination of local initiatives and geographic characteristics contributing to the area's relatively secure environment, even as minor fluctuations occur.
