Fleetwood Crime Rate July 2025 | Monthly Statistics

Fleetwood’s crime rate in July 2025 stood at 14.2 per 1,000 residents, significantly higher than the UK average of 8.6 per 1,000—65.1% above. This marked deviation underscores the area’s unique challenges, with violence and sexual offences accounting for 34.4% of all crimes, followed by anti-social behaviour at 30.1% and criminal damage at 7.8%. These figures align with the area’s seasonal context, as July is a peak month for tourism, festivals, and outdoor events, which can exacerbate public order issues and strain local resources. The dominance of violent crime, which is 61% above the UK average, suggests a need for targeted interventions in high-risk areas, particularly during the summer months when foot traffic and social activity are at their highest. Anti-social behaviour, also 177% above the UK average, may be linked to the area’s compact built-up nature, where noise and disorder can spread more rapidly. Meanwhile, the relatively low rates of shoplifting and vehicle crime—54% and 74% below UK averages, respectively—indicate that existing measures in retail security and traffic management may be yielding results. However, the surge in public order offences, which rose by 150% compared to June, points to a growing challenge that local authorities must address as the summer season continues.

July 2025 saw a sharp decline in shoplifting, which fell by 66.7% to 6 incidents from 18 in June, and a similar drop in robbery, which fell by 66.7% to 1 incident from 3. These reductions may reflect heightened police presence during summer festivals or increased retail security measures. Conversely, public order offences surged by 150%, rising from 10 to 25 incidents, a trend likely tied to the area’s seasonal events and increased social gatherings. Burglary also rose by 114.3%, from 7 to 15, potentially influenced by prolonged summer nights and increased outdoor activity. Weapon possession offences doubled, with 4 reported cases compared to 2 in June. This category, which is 150% above the UK average, highlights a concerning shift in local crime dynamics. Meanwhile, shoplifting and vehicle crime remained below UK averages, with shoplifting at 54% below and vehicle crime at 74% below, suggesting targeted efforts in retail security and traffic management may be effective.

Fleetwood's crime rate in July 2025 rose 19.3% compared to June, reaching 14.2 per 1,000 residents from 11.9 per 1,000. This increase aligns with a surge in public order offences, burglary, and weapon possession, which collectively contributed to the upward trend. Over the course of the month, one reported crime occurred for every 70 residents, a figure that contextualises the monthly exposure for local households. Daily crime activity averaged 11 incidents per day, a localised measure that reflects the density of reported incidents within Fleetwood’s built-up area. While this rate remains consistent with the area’s seasonal rhythms—peak summer months often see higher foot traffic and event attendance—it marks a divergence from the previous month’s pattern. The population-scaled perspective shows that the crime rate, though elevated, remains a manageable proportion of the community’s size, with 24,308 residents experiencing a total of 346 crimes. This figure underscores the need for continued monitoring, particularly as the summer season progresses.
