The neighbourhood policing system is said to have been responsible for what has been described as a 'dramatic reduction' in the level of recorded crime on the Island.
Assaults are down 24%, criminal damage by over 20% and domestic burglary 38%. The number of stolen vehicles is down 35%.
The numbers and levels of drugs seizure show an increase.
Road collisions are down, with serious incidents halved though sadly, with more fatalities recorded than last year.
The police say their next target is preventing 'opportunistic crime'.
