Source: WA Police Force crime statistics, locality data (selected offences), 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026. Area: Broome as defined by the source. Figures are for the locality as WA Police defines it. They are counts of offences recorded by police, not rates per resident. Regional centres draw people from surrounding districts for shopping, services, work and nightlife, so their counts are higher than their population alone would suggest. Recorded crime also depends on what is reported and how it is policed, and past figures do not predict future risk.
Housing stock: Elevated and low-set homes built for the tropics, with verandahs and louvres, holiday apartments and resorts, and newer estates

Broome security tip
Homes left empty between seasons
Broome's population rises sharply in the dry season, and holiday homes and units often sit empty the rest of the year. If your home is empty for weeks, use timers on lights, have mail collected, lock sheds and caravans, and consider an alarm or cameras that alert your phone. Security screens that lock let you keep doors and louvres open for the breeze when you're home.
Broome homes and what they mean for security
Broome's homes are built for the tropics, with verandahs, louvres, screened living areas and wide eaves, and many are elevated or have open areas underneath. Holiday apartments and resorts near Cable Beach and the town centre turn over guests frequently. Cyclone season means shutters, secure screens and battery backup for alarms and cameras are worth considering, and remote locations make monitoring and remote alerts useful.
