Recorded crime in the Sandringham precinct

SAPS publishes crime figures for police precincts, not suburbs.Glenhazel is assigned to the Sandringham precinct, whose figures cover this suburb and 11other suburbs. These are precinct totals, not measurements of Glenhazel alone, and there is no per-suburb safety index for Johannesburg yet.

Trend columns show the January to March quarter for each year from 2022 to 2026 (like-for-like quarters). Source: SAPS quarterly crime statistics. SAPS section totals and police-action categories (drug crime, driving under the influence, illegal firearms) are excluded: totals double-count their components, and police-action figures track police effort rather than residential victimisation. Precinct assignment uses StreetSignal's own station-catchment construction, which can differ from official precinct boundaries; see themethodology.
