Police and gendarmerie recorded 51 offenses in the graded categories in Givry in 2025. On the Safety Grade, Givry ranks 2nd of the 29 compared towns in Saône-et-Loire. For family violence, other physical 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, 15.8% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
