Moor Park Crime Rate February 2026 | Monthly Statistics

Violence and sexual offences dominate Moor Park's crime profile in February 2026, accounting for 77.8% of all reported crimes. With a total crime rate of 3.1 per 1,000 residents — 51.6% below the UK average of 6.4 per 1,000 — the area remains significantly safer than the national benchmark. The stark contrast between violent crimes (14 incidents) and property crimes (3 incidents) underscores a pattern where interpersonal conflict and disorder appear to drive local crime trends. This aligns with Moor Park's character as a built-up area within Three Rivers, where population density and community interactions may contribute to higher rates of violent incidents compared to more rural or dispersed settlements. Seasonal context suggests February's low outdoor activity and pre-spring lull could have limited opportunities for property crime, while indoor gatherings or social dynamics in shared spaces may have amplified risks of violence. The UK average for violence and sexual offences (2.3 per 1,000) is 3% below Moor Park's rate, indicating a localised spike in this category that warrants further contextual analysis. Despite the overall low crime rate, the concentration of violent incidents highlights the need for targeted community engagement and support services to address underlying factors contributing to such occurrences.

February 2026 saw an extraordinary 1300.0% increase in violence and sexual offences, rising from 1 to 14 incidents — a shift that dwarfs all other crime type changes. This surge contrasts sharply with a 66.7% decline in other theft (from 3 to 1) and a 33.3% reduction in vehicle crime (from 3 to 2), suggesting a reallocation of criminal activity towards interpersonal rather than property-based offences. Moor Park's rate for violence and sexual offences (2.4 per 1,000) is 3% above the UK average, a narrow but notable deviation that may reflect localised social dynamics or environmental factors. For residents, the 77.8% share of violent crimes in the total crime tally offers a critical insight: community safety initiatives focusing on conflict resolution and public order could have a measurable impact. The decline in vehicle crime, though modest, aligns with the UK average (0.3 per 1,000) and may indicate effective parking management or reduced foot traffic during the winter month. These shifts illustrate the fluid nature of crime patterns and the importance of month-on-month tracking to identify emerging trends.

Moor Park's crime rate in February 2026 (3.1 per 1,000) represents an 80.1% increase from the previous month's rate of 1.7 per 1,000, reflecting a significant upward trend. Over the course of February, this translated to approximately 1 reported crime per day — a figure that, while low, highlights the volatility of local crime patterns. When scaled to the population of 5,842 residents, the monthly exposure rate means one crime occurred for roughly every 325 residents — a statistic that, while not alarmingly high, underscores the tangible impact of even small numbers in a close-knit community. This monthly exposure rate is particularly meaningful for local families, as it illustrates the probability of encountering crime within a relatively short timeframe. The stark contrast between Moor Park's overall rate and the UK average (6.4 per 1,000) remains pronounced, yet the recent upward movement suggests the need for sustained vigilance. Comparing the daily crime count (1 per day) to the population-scaled perspective (1 in 325 residents) provides residents with a dual lens to assess risk — one that balances immediate frequency with long-term probability. These comparisons, while not directly comparable to national figures, offer a grounded understanding of Moor Park's unique crime environment.
