Police and gendarmerie recorded 69 offenses in the graded categories in Rocbaron in 2025. Of the graded crimes in Rocbaron, criminal damage came up most often (2025). For sexual violence, armed robbery 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, 12.0% of the index here. Because that share is over 10%, this Safety Grade is less sure than most.
