State-wide statistics over the past 12 months (to the end of August) indicate that reported offences against property have fallen seven per cent, while reported offences against the person have fallen by one per cent, resulting in an overall drop in reported crime of six per cent.

The release of these statistics, which can be found online at https://www.police.sa.gov.au each month, is part of a commitment to extend our communication and engagement with the community.

Anyone who is interested – within the wider community, media, Government and SAPOL staff – is able to access the information by selecting their area of interest on our interactive map available at: https://www.police.sa.gov.au/about-us/crime-statistics-map

A link then takes the user to the appropriate Local Service Area data.

The SAPOL statistics have been compiled in compliance with nationally accepted and approved counting rules.
