Bodmin St Petroc's, Cornwall: Safety
Safety
Crime rates in Bodmin St Petroc's are higher than the UK and South West averages, but things are improving. Recorded crime has fallen noticeably between 2024 and 2025.
In 2024, the neighbourhood recorded 120.5 crimes per 1,000 people. By 2025 that had dropped to 115.8. The 2026 figures cover only 9 months so far, but the monthly average is tracking lower than either previous year.
Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage have both fallen year on year. Vehicle crime has also dropped sharply, from 20 incidents in 2024 to 10 in 2025.
It's worth putting this in context though. Compared to the neighbouring Lanivet, Blisland and Bodmin St Lawrence neighbourhood, St Petroc's is considerably quieter.
