Safety
Olemps records less crime per resident than 97% of compared French towns
Police and gendarmerie recorded 39 offenses in the graded categories in Olemps in 2025. With 1,900 jobs for 1,500 working residents, Olemps draws people from neighboring communes, and crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its number of residents. For other physical violence, armed robbery, vehicle theft and theft from vehicles, this figure isn’t published when it’s small (five or fewer in at least one of the last three years); the index uses the département’s average instead, 11.6% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
