Over time — combined recorded rate

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 VIC at the same level. Figures are official (Crime Statistics Agency Victoria, criminal incidents by LGA, year ending March 2026, Year ending March 2026).
Your street in Baw Baw — not the whole council area
These numbers describe Baw Baw 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 Baw Baw join in. Peace of mind, not paranoia.
