There have been almost 450 fewer crimes in the City in the last year compared to the previous 12 months. The new figures, (12 months to December 2010), include a notable reduction in violent crimes, a 38 per cent drop in criminal damage and 11 per cent fewer burglaries.
The falling crime trend in the City is reflected in the quarterly national figures with the UK statistics showing that the risk of being a victim of crime remains at a 30-year low.
City of London Police Commissioner Adrian Leppard welcomed the results of the latest survey: “Fewer crimes in the City, means fewer victims, and that is a good thing. These figures are a pleasing reward for the hard work of not just our police officers, but also our staff, City partners and the community as a whole. We all contribute and work together to make the City a safe place.”
