We’ve published our provisional crime statistics for 2025 and while some areas such as fraud have shown increases, long term trends continue to indicate an ongoing, sustained reduction in recorded crime in Ireland.

We hate to state the obvious, but we’re going to anyway: Stop leaving the keys in your vehicles.

The statistics around farm vehicle theft are staggering – with a large volume of stolen vehicles being driven away with the owner’s own keys.

#SaferInternetDay #KeepingPeopleSafe

It can feel like the internet is becoming increasingly difficult to supervise given children can access it through phones, tablets and even their game consoles.

Here’s what you need to consider...

#SaferInternetDay #KeepingPeopleSafe

Every glance at your phone while driving risks your life - and someone else’s. Think about that.

Developed in collaboration with @unioflimerick.bsky.social, as part of our Road Safety Reimagined project - this important message was created by young students, for young students.

#KeepingPeopleSafe

Personal choices create collective impact. Choose not to fund organised crime.

#EveryLineFundsCrime

Organised crime survives on demand. Every purchase of cocaine helps fund the very activities most of us would never tolerate - intimidation, human trafficking, violence, and environmental destruction.

If you buy cocaine, you fund the criminals committing these horrific crimes. Choosing cocaine isn’t just a personal decision - it fuels violence, exploitation and fear far beyond your party.
