Swindon, compared nationally, is one of the safest places to live and work. We believe this is because people choose to take responsibility and put in place simple measures to avoid becoming a victim of crime. It is your continued vigilance that helps us to keep our crime rate low.
I am sure that we all do things every day to ensure we live in safe and clean neighbourhoods, for example;
- Report anything suspicious to the police
- Secure our properties
- Keep an eye out for neighbours
There are just a few examples and I am sure that there are many more things happening out in our communities that help us to help you Keep Swindon Safe.
