It's as safe as the rest of the borough, and no safer. The crime rate sits level with the Guildford average. Violence is well below its national share. Anti-social behaviour is well above its share. Send is ordinary on crime, and "ordinary" is the one word no listing will ever use.
Surrey Police recorded 484 crimes in Send in the year from June 2025 to May 2026. The published rate is about 89 per 1,000 residents. That puts the village about level with its local authority, neither a hotspot nor a haven. A figure like that doesn't need drama, and it doesn't earn any.
For the comparison, Guildford's rate across the same year was about 87 per 1,000, and Send's was about 89. The gap is small enough that one busy month could close it. People who choose a village over a town expecting a big drop in crime won't find it in these two numbers.
This isn't a stressed place. Average population density is about 1,560 people per square kilometre, unemployment is about 2%, and about 1% of homes are overcrowded. Those numbers describe settled, comfortably housed streets. They explain the texture of the village, not the crime figures, and neither of them causes the other.
The mix comes with a warning attached. The totals are low enough that a handful of incidents can move any share by several points, so read what follows as a snapshot of one year, not a fixed trait of the village. Anti-social behaviour made up about 30% of recorded crime, against about 16% nationally. Violence and sexual offences, a broad legal category that includes common assault without injury, made up about 19%, against about 35% nationally. That's the category that makes most places sound alarming, and here it sits at roughly half the national share. Shoplifting was about 14% against 8%, and vehicle crime about 7% against 5%. Other theft (about 8% against 7%) and criminal damage and arson (about 7% against 7%) sit close to the national pattern. The village's crime leans towards nuisance and away from harm, at least for this year.
What happens after a report is a force-wide question, not a village one. Surrey Police charges a suspect in about 11% of cases, against about 12% nationally, which ranks it 30th of 42 forces. About 36% of the force's cases close with no suspect identified. That's the honest answer to "will they catch whoever did it", and it measures the police, not how safe Send is. The crime rate answers one question and the charge rate answers another. The two shouldn't be mixed.
Send's safety is middling. It's level with the borough, lighter on violence than the national pattern and heavier on nuisance, so it's safe enough to live in, but moving here won't cut your crime risk.
