Does the one-mile circle used for Keady reach my part of town?
It might not. The circle is drawn on Keady town centre, so outlying estates, townlands and business parks can sit outside it even though they carry a Keady address. That is why the 11 crimes logged in August 2026 should be read as a picture of the centre rather than a figure for your street. If you want the position at your own postcode, the search at the top of this page runs the same one-mile measure from wherever you put it. Our method note covers the rest.
What was actually recorded near Keady centre in the latest month?
11 crimes in total, broken down as violence and sexual offences (5), anti-social behaviour (4), criminal damage and arson (0), other theft (0), drug offences (1). Of those, 6 sat in the group we mark as security-related, the categories a physical system can realistically influence. The rest are policing matters where a camera provides evidence rather than prevention, and we label the difference wherever it appears rather than rolling everything into one alarming number.
What does the whole-town record say about Keady over the longer term?
Across all of Keady, the official series recorded 263 crimes in 2025/26, down 4.7% on 2024/25 and down 12.6% against 2015/16. That is the long view for the whole town, while the one-mile centre count above, 11 crimes in August 2026, is the short view for the middle of it. Reading both is more useful than either on its own. If you would rather talk it through first, the office number is 028 7087 8077.
