Crime Trends and Clearance Rates
To ensure the provision of effective policing services that meet the needs of our community, each year, the LPS tracks crime data and clearance rates to better understand public safety trends and measure how effectively we’re responding to calls for service.
In recent years, that story is one of meaningful change.
Crime Statistics and Clearance Rates
Between 2022 and 2024, overall reported crime in London declined, including notable reductions in both violent and property crimes. At the same time, our clearance rate (the percentage of cases solved or resolved), continued to rise, reflecting improvements in investigative tools, partnerships and officer training.
These shifts reflect the work of our officers on the ground, the strength of our community partnerships and our commitment to smart, data-driven policing.
