Police and gendarmerie recorded 28 offenses in the graded categories in Pompignac in 2025. Violence against people ran at 1.8 per 1,000 residents a year and the graded property crimes at 10.8 (2023–2025 average). For family violence, sexual violence, 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, 22.6% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
Not in the gradeTheft without violence, drug use and fraud are shown for information but left out of the Safety Grade, which counts violence plus burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and criminal damage per resident.
