Tandridge Crime Rate February 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Tandridge’s crime rate in February 2025 was 4.6 per 1,000 residents, placing it 31.3% below the UK average of 6.7 per 1,000. This figure reflects a broader pattern of sustained safety in the area, particularly evident in categories such as anti-social behaviour and burglary, which were 59% and 63% below the UK average respectively. The most significant crime type by volume was violence and sexual offences, which accounted for 34.9% of all reported crimes. This category’s rate of 1.6 per 1,000—32% below the UK average—suggests that local factors, such as community engagement or targeted policing, may be contributing to lower levels of violent crime. However, the data also highlights the influence of seasonal dynamics: February, as a winter month, typically sees reduced outdoor activity, which may limit opportunities for certain crimes while exacerbating others, such as domestic disputes. The breakdown of crimes further illustrates a mixed picture, with criminal damage and arson (10.1% of total crimes) slightly above the UK average, and shoplifting (6.9%) and theft from the person (0.5%) far below. These disparities may be linked to Tandridge’s geographical and demographic characteristics, including its mix of rural and suburban areas, which could influence both the prevalence of property crime and the effectiveness of local deterrence measures. The overall crime profile remains consistent with Tandridge’s historical trend of lower-than-average rates, though the month-on-month fluctuations underscore the need for ongoing analysis of emerging patterns.

The most dramatic month-on-month shift in February 2025 was a 100% increase in bicycle theft, rising from zero to two reported incidents. This spike, though small in absolute terms, contrasts sharply with a 60.7% drop in drug-related crimes, which fell from 56 to 22. The decrease in drug offences may reflect seasonal patterns, with colder weather potentially reducing outdoor drug use or distribution. Conversely, the rise in bicycle theft could signal a shift in criminal activity as winter gives way to spring, with cyclists returning to the roads. Violence and sexual offences remained the most prevalent category, accounting for 34.9% of all crimes.6 per 1,000 is 32% below the UK average. Anti-social behaviour—another major category—was 59% below the national average, a figure that may be influenced by Tandridge’s relatively low population density and community-focused policing strategies. Residents may find the 100% increase in bicycle theft particularly noteworthy, as it highlights a specific vulnerability during the transition between seasons.

Tandridge’s crime rate for February 2025 stood at 4.6 per 1,000 residents, a 5.9% decline from the previous month’s rate of 4.9 per 1,000. This decrease aligns with the typical seasonal pattern observed in the area during winter months, when outdoor activity diminishes and public spaces see lower foot traffic. On a daily basis, the local figure of 15 crimes reported per day provides context for residents, though this number remains a snapshot of the month’s overall trend. Over the course of February, one reported crime occurred for roughly every 217 residents, a metric that reflects the area’s relatively low crime profile compared to the UK average. With a population of 90,586, this monthly exposure underscores the broader trend of sustained safety in Tandridge, particularly in comparison to national benchmarks where the UK average crime rate is 6.7 per 1,000. The reduction in violent and property crimes, coupled with the seasonal lull, suggests that local factors—such as community policing initiatives or environmental deterrents—may be contributing to the downward trend, though these remain speculative without further data.
