State-wide the statistics over the last 12 months to the end of May show that reported offences against the person have risen 14 per cent and the total reported offences against property have fallen two per cent.

This has resulted in an overall rise in reported crime of one per cent.

The release of these statistics each month is part of a commitment to extend our communication and engagement with the community.

Anyone who is interested can access the statistics by selecting their area of interest by post code or town on our interactive map available https://www.police.sa.gov.au/about-us/crime-statistics-map .

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

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