September 20, 2025

A rise in the number of violent crimes in East Renfrewshire is believed to be due to increased reporting of assaults on emergency workers.

- DREW SANDELANDS, LOCAL DEMOCRACY REPORTER

Police chiefs said staff are being encouraged to speak out if they are assaulted at work-with figures expected to rise further.

A report to East Renfrewshire Council showed nonsexual crimes of violence recorded in the area between April and the end of June were 27 per cent higher than the same period last year. In total, there were 176 recorded.

Common assaults on emergency workers increased by 110 per cent on the five-year average to 24 offences in the first quarter of 2025/26.
