Safety is the floor for a livable city and a visitor economy. Street theft, fraud, break-ins, and occasional violent incidents affect residents and businesses first, then the city’s reputation. Many cases never make headlines, but they shape daily choices about where people walk, work, and spend.
Risk isn’t uniform. Crowded blocks, late-night corridors, beaches and river mouths, and ATM zones see different patterns than residential streets. Alcohol, cash handling, transport, and housing density all push the numbers around.
Reporting and response matter. Transparent stats, clear complaint pathways, and visible patrols build trust. When victims are discouraged or paperwork is opaque, fewer crimes are recorded and patterns get harder to see.
Our coverage focuses on facts, not fear—tracking patterns, following cases through the system, and pressing for data and accountability.
