Reported crime has fallen once again over the last twelve months in Sussex.
Latest figures from the independent Office for National Statistics show that since 2010 recorded crime in Sussex has fallen by 13%.
This trend of falling crime is supported by the independent Crime Survey of England and Wales and a fall in violent crime shown by fewer people going to hospital with injuries from violent incidents.
Simon Kirby MP for Kemptown and Peacehaven says the drop in local crime will mean safer streets in Sussex.
He said: “It is great news that crime has fallen in Sussex. Local police officers in Sussex can be rightly proud of their success in cutting crime.
“The Government has cut police red tape and given them one simple target: cut crime. And that’s what they are doing.
“This means people are safer on the streets, at home, and at work – helping to build better communities in Sussex.”
