Why does Glenarm show fewer crimes here than the Mid and East Antrim district total?
The two numbers measure different ground. The count of 2 covers one month, August 2026, inside a one-mile circle drawn on Glenarm town centre. The 5,864 is every crime PSNI recorded across the whole Mid and East Antrim district in 2025/26, an area covering several towns and a lot of open country. Neither is wrong and neither replaces the other. Our method notes explain why we never divide one by the other to make a rate.
The counts near Glenarm are small. Is that worth acting on?
One month in a centre this small is a very small sample, which is why the table above carries the whole twelve-month run: 17 inside the same one-mile circle. The 2 crime recorded in August 2026 fell under violence and sexual offences. A low count is genuine good news, and it is also the reason we would not size a system here the way we would size one for a city centre. The useful questions are how the property is approached, what is left outside overnight and whether anyone would hear an alarm if it went off.
Which months were busiest near Glenarm over the last year?
Across the twelve reported months in the table above, June 2026 was the highest at 3 crimes and April 2026 the lowest at 0 crimes, on a total of 17. That spread is normal for a centre this size and it is the reason we publish the whole run rather than one headline. If you are deciding what to install, the pattern matters less than how your own property is approached and lit. Our engineers cover the whole of Northern Ireland, and the survey is free.
