Police and gendarmerie recorded 62 offenses in the graded categories in Lissieu in 2025. Violence against people ran at 3.2 per 1,000 residents a year and the graded property crimes at 13.4 (2023–2025 average). For other physical violence, sexual violence and armed robbery, 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, 17.9% of the index here.
