Yes, Tring is a safe town, and its crime rate is well below the rest of its borough. Recorded crime runs about a third below the Dacorum average. Violence is a smaller share of crime here than nationally. Unemployment is close to zero and almost no one lives in an overcrowded home. Where Tring does run above the national pattern, it is people making a nuisance of themselves.
Hertfordshire Constabulary recorded 752 crimes in Tring in the year from June 2025 to May 2026, a published rate of about 61 per 1,000 residents and about 33% below the average for Dacorum. That covers twelve full months, so one rowdy weekend cannot swing it. The most serious boundary dispute Tring has is Grim's Dyke, an earthwork so old that nobody remembers who was keeping out whom.
For comparison, Dacorum as a whole runs at about 90 crimes per 1,000 residents over the same year, against Tring's 61. The borough includes Hemel Hempstead, and the borough average is a mix of its towns. Tring is one of those that brings the average down.
Tring is a built-up town, with about 4,050 people per square kilometre across its neighbourhoods. Unemployment is about 2%, and about 2% of households are overcrowded. These describe the kind of place Tring is, and none of them on its own accounts for the crime figures.
Violence and sexual offences make up about 30% of crime in Tring, against about 35% across England and Wales. That category is the largest almost everywhere and covers everything from serious assault to a shove with no injury, so Tring's share is below the national figure. Anti-social behaviour is almost as large, at about 29% against 16% nationally, and is the one category where Tring clearly stands out. Criminal damage and arson make up about 9% against 7%, shoplifting is level at about 8%, other theft is about 6% against 7%, and public order offences about 5% against 7%. What Tring's residents report most often is nuisance.
When a crime is reported, Hertfordshire Constabulary charges a suspect in about 11% of cases, against about 12% nationally, over the same twelve months. That places the force 23rd of 42 in England and Wales. About 40% of the force's cases are closed without anyone being identified as a suspect. These are figures for the whole force, set by how charging works across Hertfordshire, and they say nothing about how likely a crime is in Tring. In a town that reports this little crime, how well the force solves it matters less to most residents than it would elsewhere.
Safety is one of Tring's real strengths, and the worst most residents will face is noise from someone else's evening.
