Safety
Quissac records less crime per resident than 77% of compared French towns
Police and gendarmerie recorded 69 offenses in the graded categories in Quissac in 2025. Violence against people ran at 5.4 per 1,000 residents a year and the graded property crimes at 10.6 (2023–2025 average). For sexual violence, armed robbery, burglary, 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, 16.2% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
