Darvel’s area
in context.
These are not Darvel-only figures. They cover the whole Irvine Valley multi-member ward, which includes Darvel, Newmilns, Galston and surrounding areas. Police Scotland does not publish a continuous annual Darvel-only series.
The figures show crimes and offences recorded by Police Scotland, not every crime experienced in the community. Changes can reflect reporting, recording practice and police activity as well as changes in offending.
Police Scotland describes these ward figures as provisional management information rather than accredited official statistics. The service also advises caution around the pandemic years and notes a data-system change from April 2020.
