Safety
Anneyron records less crime per resident than 87% of compared French towns
Police and gendarmerie recorded 66 offenses in the graded categories in Anneyron in 2025. Of the graded crimes in Anneyron, criminal damage came up most often (2025). For other physical violence, sexual violence 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, 10.8% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
