Which is the worst area for crime in Surrey?

These figures cannot answer that. They are counts of offences recorded near each town centre, not rates per head, and busy town centres always record more than residential villages. Comparing them as a ranking would be misleading.

How current are these figures?

Street-level police data is published about two months in arrears. The most recent month available is June 2026.

By town

Town figures are counts, not rates

Unlike the borough table above, these count offences near a town centre, so they are not adjusted for population and cannot be compared between towns - a town centre with shops and pubs always records more than the village beside it. They answer what is happening near you, not where is safest.

5,738 offences across 82 towns in June 2026. Town figures are not added together into county or borough totals: each covers a radius around a town centre, and neighbouring radii overlap. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0, from data.police.uk.
