Keeping Safe

Be Safe, Be Secure

In general, Shrewsbury has a lower crime rate than the rest of the UK. However, that doesn't mean that you should rule out the possibility, or think "It won't happen to me". As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry, so perhaps you could benefit from information provided by the websites below.

The Home Office provide information on how to reduce crime. You can see crime statistics on their website, which shows that crime peaked in 1995, but has since fallen by nearly 40%.

 
Mobile phones are a large part of street crime. It is estimated that in 2001, 28% of street robberies involved a mobile. However, you can help stop it. Visit the Out of Your Hands? website to read about avoiding becoming a victim of mobile phone crime.
