Police and gendarmerie recorded 47 offenses in the graded categories in Bernin in 2025. For family violence, other physical violence, sexual violence and vehicle theft, 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, 14.2% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most. With 2,500 jobs for 1,450 working residents, Bernin draws people from neighboring communes, and crimes are counted in the commune where they happen, then divided by its number of residents.
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.
