How to read this: these are recorded break-in, motor-vehicle and violent offences only — a subset of recorded crime, not a total. Recorded rates aren't a measure of danger, and an absence of reports doesn't mean an area is "safe". Comparisons are only with other areas in QLD at the same level. Figures are official (Queensland Police Service, LGA reported offences numbers and rates, Jun 2025-May 2026).

Your street in Brisbane — not the whole council area

These numbers describe Brisbane as a whole, but nobody actually watches an entire council area — you watch your own place. Add your street, a parent's home, or the kids' school as a watched place, and Pryer gives you a timely, factual heads-up when something's reported nearby — not the whole council area's worth of noise. It gets more useful as more neighbours in Brisbane join in. Peace of mind, not paranoia.

  • ✓ Timely alerts when something's reported near a place you follow — free.
  • ✓ Report what you see and confirm what others report — that's what keeps it accurate.
  • ✓ Approximate locations only. We watch the neighbourhood, not your family — and never sell location data.
